Last month, Indy Ball Island reported on a new league, the Moses Lake Professional Baseball League, based out of Moses Lake, Washington.
Plans for the league, created by Jim Hayes and Keith Marshall, seem to have come to a halt.
Hayes sent out an email today with an update on the league:
Kayla,
As stated on our website, if we do not have all finances in the bank by march 7th, 2020, we would not move forward. As of right now, it looks like we are not going to reach the goals we set for this league and will not pursue it further. One important thing though, not one player is out a dime as promised by us. Thank you for your time…..Jim Hayes, MLPBL
The good news is that they were smart enough to realize that they do not have the funding in place to start before the league turned into a scam and created more unfulfilled dreams for players.
*On another note*
It appears as though the Western Association of Professional Baseball that was first covered on this site in July, is not getting off the ground either. Their last update was in September and nothing has been heard from them since.
Keep your eye on the horizon!
