PVBL: Vero Beach Bums
Blockbuster Deal Goes Through, Belle an Atom

June 18, 1999

Vero Beach, FL (AP) -- With a scant 3 hours left before the trading deadline for draft picks, the Vero Beach Bums have announced that their deal with Springfield has been confirmed by the PVBL office.

"That is a huge relief," said Bums owner Jason Gohlke. "My thanks to Aaron Watson for closing the deal." Details are sketchy, but Watson was reportedly physically unable to deliver the trade confirmation.

The Bums may yet have more deals in the works tonight.
