Beginging of the Frontier league to lead Schamburg Flyers Baseball team

http://www.frontierleague.com/history.php

The frontier Baseball League thought process began in the Winter of 1992-1993, some men wanted to start an Independent Baseball league in the areas they lived in. They got in touch with some business people who were interested in the idea of owning a baseball team to operate in their cities. The Frontier baseball league started in the cities of West Virginia, Eastern Kentucky, and Southeast Ohio. College players heard about this league and came from the Midwest and East coast in hoping to pursue a Baseball career that could potentially lead them to the Majors. In late June of 1983 eight of these teams began to play a full season. Two teams then wanted out which put the league in danger to what almost meant being terminated completely. However, led by former Florida president, Chris Hanners led to keep the league from going down. IN 1994, The league hired a commissioner which was Bill Lee. This was the Leagues first commissioner to move the league in the right direction. In 1996 The league added a couple more cities that the league would play with. The teams were in Springfield, Illinois, and Michigan. in 1993-94 the League had added some teams from Onterio, Canada which had the team who went by the name of Thunder Bay Wiskey Jacks which was existing until 1998. The "Jacks" then in 1999 They became the Schaumburg Flyers. The Schaumburg Flyers then moved to the North American League. 1999, the Flyers built their field called "Alexian Field" in Schaumburg right off of the Illinois Route 390 which was at the time Elgin O'Hare express way. The same year off 1999, The Flyers were starting off new which they then hired their first Ron Kittle, who played in The Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Chicago White Sox. Kittle also brought his good friend Greg Hibbard along who also played for the Chicago White Sox who would then be the Flyers pitching coach. In 2001, Kittle resigned with the Flyers but got replaced by Jim Boynewicz who would become the new manager for the Schaumburg Flyers.

Pretty good article overall. Needs work on just expanding the information and adding sections, like which person managed the team from when to when, why two of the teams wanted to leave, that kind of stuff. Also just some small grammatical things like tenses and maybe using more "sophisticated" words (considering this is technically an encyclopedia). Kyra Ward (talk) 17:03, 27 April 2017 (UTC)Kyra Ward
