The owner of the Bacon, Steve DeLay, announced the news on LinkedIn. Here’s what he is looking for in a new owner. MACON, Ga. — After almost six years of running the Macon Bacon baseball team, the franchise owner Steve DeLay is putting the team up for sale, looking for an owner who will continue to “serve the communities they call home.” The Macon Bacon is a part of the Coastal Plain League. The team is a collegiate summer baseball team, essentially offering college students the chance to play during their off months.   DeLay started the Bacon in July 2017, with the team playing at the historic Luther Williams Field in Caroyln Crayton Park.  But in his announcement, DeLay emphasized that the new owner doesn’t have a team to turn around. Instead, they have a solid foundation to jump off of, he wrote.  “What they need is someone committed to continuing to deliver a superior fan experience, see staff grow and evolve and serve the communities they call home,” DeLay said. “I don’t need to sell them, and this isn’t a distress auction. But I would like for them, like the dogs I rescue, to go to a home.”
