Where are fleeing schoolmasters, several construction workers and teenage-baseball-player-suing chiropractors gathering today? Right here in the Morning Links.

Apparently, they’re not just down there for winter break. The couple who ran an inner-city Milwaukee school that abruptly closed – after it received more than $2 million in taxpayer money – now lives in a gated community in Florida. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has the full story.

This is one way to get out of class. A gas leak forced the evacuation of Marquette’s Johnston Hall for a couple hours Wednesday after construction crews hit a line at a neighboring site. The Marquette Tribune has more.

Speaking of construction, expect some in the future at Milwaukee’s City Hall. Apparently, it may need $15 million worth of work to help stop it from… sinking. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has more.

And finally, the lesson today, young baseball players, is this: Don’t throw your batting helmet. Because it just might hit your coach, and he just might sue you. For half a million dollars. That’s what’s happening out in California, where a chiropractor turned volunteer coach was accidentally hit with the tossed helmet during a winning-run celebration. No, he’s not still the 14-year-old’s coach. Yes, you can watch the KCRA TV reporter, wearing a dress shirt and slacks, re-enact the game-winning run.
