Apples Announce Front Office Move
Chris Wisekal Heading West

Golf Digest
Nashville, TN

Following last weeks off season news that Apple All Star First Baseman Christi Copous has elected to enter the free agent market and will not sign with the Apples, it has now been learned that longtime team Executive Vice President Chris Wisekal likewise will also be leaving the Apples.

Sources close to the Apples and speaking on the condition of anonymity, have told Golf Digest that although Wisekal will not be leaving FreshPoint he will in fact be leaving the Apples in Nashville.

Initial reports have Wisekal leaving the Apples to accept the challenge of heading up the teams new training facilities in Phoenix, AZ. When approached in a suburban Nashville drug store parking lot over the weekend, Wisekal quickly threw his newly purchased suntan lotion and sunglasses into his truck and departed without comment.

When contacted at a Smyrna,TN pizzeria Saturday night, AGFHOF Don Bernitt denied any knowledge of Wisekal's impending move and would only say that " I've played golf with Chris and there is no doubt that the courses in Nashville simply do not challenge his game anymore." " Chris is a player, if he takes his game west there is no question that he will love what Arizona has to offer."

Bernitt continued by saying that if this news of Wiskeal's departure is true that he and all the Apples " thank Wisekal for all he has done for the club over the many years of their shared tenure in Nashville. " Chris will be missed there is no doubt about it " concluded Bernitt before returning to feast at the newest Snappy Tomato Pizza Buffet to open in Middle TN.

And so it goes, the Apples off season rolls on and now the question must be asked, what other moves are to happen before we again hear that now famous cheer................ How bout them Apples !!
