Jim, you know how easy it is to contact anyone in the AMLU. Stop pretending that it is difficult to research the directory or send an email. You sound like you are asking a third party rather than just picking up the phone and confronting them. Their names will be a matter of record once the box scores are released.

Just in case, here's a guide:

SCB: Hi, ____________, how have you been?
Plum Picker: Okay, those f-ing scabs are ruining our plans.
SCB: Yeah, so much for brethren in blue, eh?
Plum Picker: Yeah, I thought that PBUC would be begging us back by now.
SCB: So...what are you doing? Working any games to keep the rust off?
Plum Picker: Hell yeah! I called the local assignor and he told me that he had plenty of games. I told him that I wouldn't work any underlevel crap though.
SCB: Well no sh#t, you are a professional for godsakes.
Plum Picker: So he gives me a couple late season things that way when I get the playoff assignments the peons won't be all upset.
SCB: I know what you mean.
Plum Picker: So, I've got a couple JUCO and HS playoffs now and the Legion tourney is going to be sweet money. I'll make more doing those games than I do in the Cal League.
SCB: Yeah, that money is good.
Plum Picker: The best part is that I can wear my dazzle cloth shirt with my Cal League hat and everyone will know I'm a pro.
SCB: Sweet!
Plum Picker: Now those scabs can watch me take their best games away from them. Let's see how they like it.
SCB: They probably won't be happy.
Plum Picker: Who cares? I went to pro school and earned the right to say no to Minor League games. If they want the chance to be considered equal they can say "No" too.
SCB: Well said.
Plum Picker: Hey, it was good to hear from you, but Springer is on and it's really good. I love watching people tear others apart in public. Take it easy dude. Let me know if you want any of these games.
SCB: Sure thing...bye.
