The California LumberKings are happy to announce the signings of pitchers Jon Nimmo and Darren Strang. Jon Nimmo, from Maple Ridge, British Columia, will be playing with us in the Bombers Invitational, Portland Rose Cup and the Tournament of Champions in Kitchener, Ontario. Darren Strang, from Richmond, BC, will be playing for us in the Tournament of Champions. Both Jon and Darren are currently pitching for the Richmond, BC Stealers.

Editor’s Note: Dave mentioned this to Jim and I about three weeks ago that he had these guys but wanted to wait to announce their signing. Strang pitched Seattle Bodle Chiropractic to 2nd place at the 2004 NAFA AA tournament, dropping the “if” game when he got hurt. Nimmo pitched Lantzville, BC to 3rd at the 2002 NAFA AA, behind Sebringville and Rainey, when he was 19 or 20. I would expect a huge jump in the rankings for the LumberKings up from their current #46.
