Gresham Braves join the league

The Southern League just added a new team to replace the defunct Chinatown Athletics. The Gresham Braves will join the league for the 2008 season.
The expansion Braves will be led by team captain Kyle Schulz. Schulz played high school and college baseball and should make the transition to wiffleball pretty smoothly. Also joining Kyle are his dad Todd Schulz along with friends Branden Bradford and Dave Gunderson.
They will have to make up a game against the Laurelhurst Mets in the upcoming weeks and will kick off their season this Sunday against the Laurelhurst Pirates.
The league office was sad to see the Athletics go since they played last season but is happy to have a new team that is dedicated to playing.
