London Rippers Cease Operations

This week, after plenty of controversy and financial problems, the London Rippers of the Frontier League closed their doors. All players from the team have been granted free-agency, and the Frontier League is putting together a road only team to cover the balance of the Rippers schedule. This marks the end of another sad baseball chapter in the city of London which can't seem to keep a team very long. Time will only tell if this is truly the end of professional baseball in London, but the citizens have done nothing to show the world otherwise.
