GM Change, Valencia Stars

Post by recte44 » Sun Jul 19, 2020 6:16 pm

A sad day for the BBA- one of the original GM's is stepping away. Lee Honigsfeld has seen many things during his time with our league. Now, in real life, his business is booming and time has become scarce. We're hoping he will return next year at some point, but for now we have to move forward with a new GM in Valencia for the first time ever.

To fill the role, we are promoting Dillon Lowery @tallywood from his post in Manama. We'll start looking for a new Manama Pearls GM immediately.

I'm so grateful that Valencia has been in such good hands. Thank you, Lee.

And I will miss Manama terribly, but I'll be rooting for them forever.

(I kinda wish this didn't happen on the sim where I call up Tofu to reunite with Koka!)

Great news for Lee that his business is doing so well, but sad that the BBA has to lose him.

It’s outstanding to have Dillon available to step in, though. Hope you enjoy the BBA as much as the UMEBA. Welcome!

Wow, this is huge news. I'm conflicted because I'm happy for Lee personally despite being sad to see him leave. Welcome Dillon! Fix the starting pitching in Valencia and I think you have a strong playoff contender.

Good Luck Lee! Rumor on the street was that you were so upset by the Stars Makeover Monday, you needed some time away to recover. ;) Man with great power comes great responsibility. I better be more careful next time.

hey everyone, this was a very hard decision to make as the league has been a big part of my life for over 20 years... I started way back before Matt went to OOTP 2. got to start and name Valencia way back then. Its been so fun being a big part of this league and watching the league grow and everyone grow to... I look forward to coming back next year when things setting down for me at my work...Matt thanks for running this great league and letting me be part of it all this time.. everyone be safe, talk to all soon,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Lee
