3-Time Wild Turkey MVP Jake Peters has just retired from the team. Here's a statement he just released:
Gentlemen, I'd like to take this opportunity to officially announce my retirement from the Wild Turkeys softball team. It is a decision I have wrestled months with, and it is with terrific sadness that I write this today. Recently, my agent and I officially accepted an offer in Rochester and I can see no realistic way to continue my career with the Turkeys. The Wild Turkeys have always been about hard work, gritty determination leaving everything on the field. For me to continue at anything less than 100% would violate the fundamental tenets of being a Wild Turkey. I could not have asked for a more competitive, and often times drunk, venue to exercise my three year rookie contract. Turkey Nation has been good to me and I will not soon forget the nacho challenges, beer slamming, and oh yeah the softball. I wish nothing but the best for my teammates in the future. Thank you, and beat the (heck) out of Ballz Deep and Dead Money this year.
Jake Peters 3B
This has been a shocking day indeed. In other news, the Turkeys have already signed a replacement. Adam "McFrog" Armstrong will be taking Jake's roster spot and will assume 3B duties for the time being. Look for a position shakedown to occur within the next few weeks.
