Manhattan Beach Patriots Owner Dies, Son Bill Successor Monday, April 1st, 2024 Despondent and forlorn are the streets of Manhattan Beach today. The Manhattan Beach Patriots baseball team has lost its leader, owner Bill James. He died suddenly yesterday, while on vacation. Club officials briefed the press today on the situation and released funeral plans. Services will be held day after tomorrow in Manhattan Beach. As far as who will take over for James, the Manhattan Beach Patriots spokesman indicated it would be dealt with in the near future, but he had no word on who the successor would be. Press speculation is that James's son, Bill, would be his replacement as owner. The younger James Jr. was characterized by sources high up in the Manhattan Beach Patriots hierarchy as controlling when it comes to money and tolerant when it comes to management. |
