The Millers would finish up their lone season in 2nd place. According to Baseball in Minneapolis by Stew Thornley, the Millers had sold the team bus in Lafayette to try to drum up
some money. When the players went to get their final paychecks, they found the
doors to the offices locked up and Dick Jacobson was MIA. Several players had
also been recently involved in a sex scandal in their dorms at the college, causing
the team to lose their radio contract with the Christian radio station who
was broadcasting their games. |
