LOS ANGELES, CA - Jonathan Williams the soft-spoken giant has a loud voice when it comes to the all-star voting. The 6'5 switch-hitter has taken a commanding lead receiving over 50% of the votes cast in the first week. Williams (pictured talking to a cute blond in the stands during a game) has been a fan favorite since he started with the Knights back in 2004. Always the first one at the ball park and the last to leave, making sure he signs ever last autograph for Knight fans. 
I tried to get a hold of Jonathan to get a comment about this great show of his popularity, but was told by his people that he was attempting to "Find Nemo" off the coast of Baja. It turns out Williams is a Knight by Day and a Marine Biologist by Night. As if Williams needed more fans he now will no doubt receive the "Live Earth" vote after word gets out. While the Knights have a few players who like to think they "swim with Sharks" in Hollywood. Jonathan Williams actually DOES, which may be a reason that when it comes to fan appreciation, he's top of the list. While his stats may not reflect his contribution to the team, real Knights fans understand what Williams brings to the team, consistency, a great smile and a love of marine life. Coming in a distant 2nd with 29% of the votes so far is Erik Barber.

Barber feels as the new guy on the team, the fans just haven't had a chance to get to know him yet. "Give me some time Max, I'll win them over and then you'll be looking at the #1 Vote getter." Erik is known best for his freestyle rapping ability and his amazing fashion sense. His album "drops" later this year and we'll be sure to link to it or at least get a bootleg copy to post on the site.
WHAT ARE THE KNIGHTS UP TO OFF THE FIELD?
If you'll remember Murkey and Van Buren had their best season last year when they were on a strict eating and workout plan together. They were BFF 4 EVER...maybe they are trying to recapture lightning in a bottle.
When I tried to reach Murkey for a comment he quickly hung up the phone.
Knights Outfielder Mike Vogel is off filming his latest scary movie...the trailer for Cloverfield can be seen here. http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/11808/ Vogel was last seen gasping for air in the Poiseiden Adventure remake..."Poiseidon". Vogel should make his triumphant return to the Knights sometime in late August.

I hear that Williams kid is originally from the Chicago area, and we all know that they know how to "get out the vote" in Chi-town. Rumor has it he is receiving votes from as far away as North Carolina, Florida, and New York City. I know there are a lot of Marine Biologist types in Florida and North Carolina - but N.Y.C.??? Go figure.
This just overheard. The Williams kids stats may be down because he is missing his big brothers help. It seems his older brother went north to play in the Portland League and Jonathan has had trouble with his hitting stroke ever since.
