Jean-Paul Simon Buys the Toronto Maples
Thursday, October 4th , 2046
Henri Thibault turned over the keys to the Toronto Maples this afternoon to Jean-Paul Simon in a brief ceremony outside Ontario Ballpark.

Jean-Paul Simon wasted no time trying to put his mark on the team.

"I've made a lot of money building things that no one thought would work. I've got a track record. Some people don't like change, but you need to embrace change if the alternative is disaster," he said. "Great teams are built with great players. We're gonna go get them."

Simon is said to be a understanding character, with a fiscal personality of economizer. The Maples finished the regular season with a 84-60 record, first place in the North of the Border.

The cathedrals of baseball are silent. Another Great Lakes Baseball League season is in the books, and what a season it was! The champion has been crowned and the winners sent home to decorate their trophy cases. The fans have been left with many exciting memories to recall over the offseason. League awards will be announced over the coming weeks, but while players head for vacations and the ballparks are empty, there is plenty going on behind the scenes.
