American League Names Top Skipper
Friday, November 20th , 2048
Murray Yerzy celebrated a successful season with the Lansing Lugnuts by hosting team officials and select media at a Lansing area first-class eatery. But when he first came to town, the 2048 American League Manager of the Year was met with a good measure of skepticism.
"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 Yerzy joked, not fully recognizing his own stature in the baseball community.
However, baseball journalists duly noted his managerial skill as he skippered the Lugnuts to a 117-36 record this year and a first place finish in the American League Eastern Division.
