NL Top Manager is Gorman of Cincinnati Friday, November 22nd , 2075 When BJ Gorman was hired to lead the Cincinnati Reds, fans were expecting improvement over the last manager. Today, flanked by team officials, Gorman accepted the National League Manager of the Year Award, noting the level of passion for the Cincinnati Reds. "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." Gorman led Cincinnati to a first place finish in the National League Central Division. The Reds ended up with a 101-61 record. Gorman 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. |
