Western League Announces Best Manager Friday, December 2nd , 2044 When Jermaine Mitchell was hired to lead the Miami Beach Marlins, fans were expecting improvement over the last manager. Today, flanked by team officials, Mitchell accepted the Western League Manager of the Year Award, noting the level of passion for the Miami Beach Marlins. "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." Mitchell led Miami Beach to a first place finish in the Western League Central Division. The Marlins ended up with a 105-27 record. Mitchell 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. |
