Ahh my old buddy the Quakerman, Mr. Cleaver. He threatened to drive up to Grove City to "kick my ass" one time via a private message in the old forum on here about 10 or so years ago. The problem is the Mike Craig he was threatening to pay a visit was the Grove City Parks & Rec Director who was about 10 years younger than me and in a lot better shape. He looked like he would have thumped Mr. Cleaver if he even knew why he was yelling at him.
Good luck if you ever get a refund from McCann. Dave at MVP Sportspark can tell you some interesting stories about him. McCann supposedly ran under another name and booked events at MVP Sportspark the first year they reopened the park after they bought it. Dave Earhart wanting to get the park on the radar in the youth market and let him have pretty much every open weekend he had available since they got a late start that spring on scheduling. He said the first event went pretty smooth so MVP Sportspark was excited to have them back again. He said the 2nd one was a disaster as no one from the tournament staff showed up in the morning and he had teams and umpires all looking at him to do something. MVP had nothing other than the field dimensions so Dave figured out what age group went where based on the dimensions and also by asking the coaches what age group they were in. (for the novice BB folks, there are different pitching and base distances for some of the age groups in BB) and also put the officials on fields and started the tournament on time. He said that McCann's nephew or someone staggered into the park about 11 am all hung over and looking like he hadn't been to bed yet. He said this young man had not listing of teams, no pairings, and no umpire schedule. In the meantime, Dave at MVP Sportspark had found McCann's website and printed off the teams schedules and just winged it on the umpire schedule and even fed the officials so they would stay calm (officials can be just as big of divas as some coaches at times). He said the tournament rep just disappeared at some point assuming the park had it covered. After that, McCann had the nerve to also ask him for half the gate fees on top of skipping out on not paying him for the field and maintenance fees. He took McCann off the schedule for the rest of the season and sat basically empty most of the summer until he called us that fall and we got him on the path to running with a group who wanted him to succeed as well as give us a quality place to host our events and eventually other events as well.
Flash forward during the winter and Dave at MVP Sportspark goes out on McCann's website out of curiosity and McCann has changed the names of his events to MVP Tournaments and has MVP Sportspark listed every weekend for with both baseball and fast-pitch listed for every event with all age groups listed. Mind you this is a 5 diamond complex. Dave called and told him to take the events off the schedule and not to contact him anymore.
