San Antonio Pilot Medina Acclaimed TEX Best Tuesday, October 7th , 2110 When David Medina was hired to lead the San Antonio Missions, fans were expecting improvement over the last manager. Today, flanked by team officials, Medina accepted the Texas League Manager of the Year Award, noting the level of passion for the San Antonio Missions. "The biggest challenge was the fans. I don't know how many times I was asked, if I thought the club was good enough. It was as if they expected failure. It was much easier to win over the ballplayers. Slowly but surely the fans began to believe in us." Medina led San Antonio to a first place finish in the South Division. The Missions ended up with a 82-56 record. Medina is looking forward to the offseason. "We're reviewing our options. You never stand still in baseball. You either get better or worse, 'cause everyone else is out to get your free agents or deal for your prospects. It's going to be a challenge." But the skipper has more than proven he is equal to the task. |
