Levesque to sell Plunkers franchise

Citing health problems, Tampa Bay Plunkers owner Bill Levesque gave notice to the league that he would not be able to maintain his duties as owner of the Plunkers. He said he would put the Plunkers up for sale immediately and the league will begin searching for a new owner immediately. Levesque's tenure as manager of the Plunkers was characterized by his on-again off-again feud with manager The Severed Head of Ted Williams and wacky shenanigans in the clubhouse. Though this made the day interesting for several Plunkers players, none of them complained about the hijinks. "It kept us on our toes" said shortstop Jack Wilson. "Bill used to come in the clubhouse and play practical jokes on us while we were out on the field playing games" said catcher Jason Varitek. "I remember when he put an idol of Jobu in Tejada's locker and it led to Miggy's drinking problem. Ha ha ha, what a lark." The Plunkers are currently sitting 3 games out of a playoff spot. Will Levesque's departure spark the team to "win one for the Levesquer" or will they fold like a house of cards?
