D-Bags Owner Seung-min Kim Dies; Son Takes Over

A sad day in the midst of a great season happened this past week as the Jersey Shore D-Bags announced the passing of the only owner this franchise has ever seen.  Seung-min Kim died of natural causes in his Manhattan penthouse early Sunday morning on June 5th.  His wife reported he was up late with the BSA network on when he never came to bed.  She found him dead in his favorite easy chair.

His son, Seung-min Kim Jr. has been groomed to take over his position for sometime now.  Born in Atlantic City, Kim Jr. grew up playing ball and attended Rutgers, followed by Business School at nearby Penn.  He graduated with his MBA just 2 years before the BSA formed and his father purchased the D-Bags.  He was immediately hired and ran analytics behind the scenes but was always a clubhouse staple.  A person with a lot of power within the organization, but a young enough one to fraternize and see eye-to-eye with the players.  The transition should be an easy one for the franchise as in the past 1-1.5 years the Sr, Kim's duties became less and less as he spent less time at the ballpark and more time in the families vacation home in the Caribbean island of St. Marteen.  

While Kim Sr. was known through baseball circles as a cutthroat business man who always wanted results, the Jr. Kim has praised patients and will give the GM a bigger leash with the payroll.  It is a sad thing that Kim Sr. could never see his team bring home a championship as Jersey Shore made it to the World Series, only to come up empty both times.  Once to Hendersonville in an epic 7 game battle and the other just 2 seasons ago to the Boston Rebels.

For the remainder of the season the team will wear a patch on their left shoulder with SKS to commemorate the late owner.  At the time of his death, the Jersey Shore D-Bags currently sit atop the CL East division with a 3 game lead over rival Greenville and boast the best record in the CL at 41-16.
