Having been in Ben's position, I can tell you that he probably doesn't want anyone to contact his boss. You see, right now, his bosses are wondering what is up. They are not "in the know" about the baseball climate of Illinois. While there might be tons of support, that isn't the issue. The issue is that Ben doesn't want is boss's attention constantly brought back to this issue. The attention will simply be too much and Ben will pay for it. At least that is what happened in my position. If Ben wants help, he can pm some of us and ask. Otherwise, and again speaking from experience, let's let this lay for a while.
