FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: November 6, 2002

Cheetahs trade Balet to Joliet

CRESTWOOD, IL – The Cook County Cheetahs of the Frontier League today announced the trade of third baseman Pichi Balet to the Joliet Jackhammers of the Northern League.

Balet, 24, was a 2-time Frontier League All-Star and set the League single season batting average record in 2002, finishing the season at .405. He was second in the League in hits with 123 and led the Cheetahs in runs batted in with 64. Balet made the Frontier League All-Star team in 2001 with the Dubois County Dragons and repeated in 2002 with the Cheetahs.

“This is a good move for Pichi,” said Cheetahs General Manager Chuck Heeman. “He’ll get a taste of a slightly higher level of competition and be able to stay in the Chicago area. Pichi just moved here from Florida, and didn’t want to go to another part of the country to play.”

In return for Balet’s contract, the Cheetahs received cash considerations.

The Cook County Cheetahs open the 2003 season in late May, and tickets are on sale now by calling 708-489-2255.
