Let the 51's rot. After almost 30 years association with the game of baseball, I was treated very poorly by the 51's after all but promising me a job when I retired and moved to LV 3 years ago. This told me a lot about the quality of their organization and their integrity. I found a much better organization for which to work and am happily employed.
I love baseball...but I don't love the 51's organization. Prior to retiring in 2005, the 51's Marketing Department promised me an interview with "many things you can do with us." I had been involved with baseball at the high school, college and semi-pro levels for 30 years, including working with the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown for the last 5. I enthusiastically came to Las Vegas planning on a part time retirement job (not for the money - to be around the game I loved). They treated me like garbage. All their promises were for naught. I was given a cursory 5 minutes to talk with soem low level "interviewer" then "put in their files"never to be contacted again. Let them take their team to some other state.
