Fun Fact

Schaumburg
Assigned the contract of RHP Nigel Thatch (Rookie) to Fullerton of the Golden Baseball League in exchange for 1 pallet (60 cases) of Budweiser beer.

If you are unaware, Nigel Thatch is none other than the actor who played "Leon" from the Budweiser commercials. One of the commercials found him taking a call from his agent while in the batter's box and passing when his turn at bat came up.
