Coincidence
Manager George Husby coincidentally ran into former Manitowoc Legion Player Mike Rady who played against The Bays in 2000 and 2001. Mikes best friend is Bruce Karnitz who he got to know at Oshkosh in College. Bruce played for SB Legion from 1998 until 2000. Mike remembered a lot about the games between the two teams back then.
