The Vancouver Yankees have let the league office know that they would be quitting the league effective immediately. Their team captain Josh Burckhardt was upset about a forfeit being ruled against his team from the week one rainout against the Laurelhurst Pirates.
During the preseason meeting, which Burckhardt attended, there was an agreement that make-up games have to be scheduled for in a two week period. The home team is always responsible for the scheduling. Burckhardt failed to schedule a game and the co-commissioners Jim Hewey and Dan Hurley ruled that the game was a forfeit.
It was about a week later that Burckhardt informed Jim Hewey and Nate Bullock of the Yankees leaving the league.

What an A-Hole. I'm still bitter about this.
