Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better

Sad news for Mercury fans...A League of Our Own is closing.

For those of you not familiar with League, it was THE post-game hangout for the Mercury players and fans. A throwback to the 1920s supper clubs, it was owned by a longtime Mercury season ticketholder, Mimi Rodriguez. League also hosted the karaoke event with Mercury players and fans, game-watching parties for Mercury road games, and numerous other events for Mercury fans and players. Even on Friday night, after making an appearance at the Mercury game, Jen Gillom came to League to give hugs to all of the Mercury fans.

A truly sad event. Best wishes to Mimi and all of the League staff.
