3R Best Manager Picked, Hicksville's Moon Winner Friday, September 26th, 2036 When Wilber Moon was hired to lead the Hicksville Hounds, fans were expecting improvement over the last manager. Today, flanked by team officials, Moon accepted the M3L Rookie Manager of the Year Award, noting the level of passion for the Hicksville Hounds. "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." Moon led Hicksville to a second place finish in the Menard's R. The Hounds ended up with a 60-37 record. Moon 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. |
