O'Fallon, MO - After one season in O'Fallon River City Rascals Manager, Chad Parker, has decided to move back to his native home, Adarsville, GA to explore other opportunities.

Executive Vice President and General Manager Chris Franklin wishes Parker luck in the future. "Our organization will always be grateful for what Chad has done this season." "We were very happy with Chad both on and off the field and made him what we felt was a strong offer after the all-star break to continue with the Rascals in 2010 and beyond." "The same characteristics that make him a good manager are the same characteristics that make him a good father and husband and it seems that this situation will be best for him and his family."
