Last night, I received an e-mail from a gentleman named Clay in regards to our series of posts about the Lake County Fielders, partially owned by actor Kevin Costner. When we last heard from the Fielders, they were booted out of the North American Baseball League, and reportedly owing a vendor thousands of dollars. Well now, the story is pretty much over with this image that Clay sent me yesterday evening.
This is an eviction notice, posted outside of the Fielders’ main office at the Gurnee Mills Mall in Gurnee, Illinois. The Fielders apparently owe $3,750 in back rent, and have been given five days (as of the 25th, which was last Wednesday) to either pay the rent in full, or to vacate the property. Without offices, this sad, pathetic saga that started off on the bizarre route will finally end, unless of course, the Fielders want to run their operations out of someone’s house.
