Veteran Fox leaves affiliated ball to fulfill dream in Korea

Local minor league fans may have been surprised not to see former Phillies farm hand Jake Fox visiting with the New Hampshire Fisher Cats in Reading this week.  The faithful Jake Fox Nation barely had enough time to catch on to which organization the veteran had jumped to this season, before Fox switched teams again, ditching the States for Korea.

The 32-year-old is the type of player that makes and keeps fans where ever he goes.  A one-time 3rd round draft pick of the Cubs, Fox made it to the majors in Chicago and with Baltimore.
