St. Dominic Hospital in Jackson, Miss., is moving forward with construction on a sports complex despite the fact it is embroiled in a lawsuit with a former Major League Baseball player over a similar project on the same land, according to a Clarion-Ledger report.
Chris Snopek, owner of Performance Sports Academy and former baseball player for the Chicago White Sox and Boston Red Sox, recently sued the hospital, alleging he shared his "confidential thoughts" and "preliminary design and plans" with St. Dominic on a sports complex project. He said St. Dominic and he entered into a letter of intent in 2007 — but the hospital then dumped him as a partner and took his ideas, according to the report.
However, the hospital claimed the letter of intent with Mr. Snopek expired in 2008, and it never entered into another agreement with him.
St. Dominic currently plans to partner with D1 Sports Holdings to build a $6 million athletic training facility on the land originally proposed for the project with Mr. Snopek.
