NL Best Manager Picked, Los Angeles's Rivera Winner Sunday, November 17th, 2024 Jorge Rivera celebrated a successful season with the Los Angeles Bruins by hosting team officials and select media at a Los Angeles area first-class eatery. But, when he first came to town, the 2024 National League Manager of the Year would've been lucky to be invited out for beers with the ground-crew. "Very few people believed in our ballclub, when I got here. It just goes to show you that a bunch of talented ballplayers playing together can make any old manager a genius," a modest Rivera joked, not fully recognizing his own stature in the baseball community. However, baseball journalists duly noted his managerial skill as he skippered the Bruins to a 105-57 record this year and a first place finish in the National League Western Division. |
