 | SL2 Top Manager Trophy Goes to Olmedo Sunday, September 11th, 2033 When Ranier Olmedo was hired to lead the Flatbush Dukes, fans were expecting improvement over the last manager. Today, flanked by team officials, Olmedo accepted the Sub League 2 Manager of the Year Award, noting the level of passion for the Flatbush Dukes. "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." Olmedo led Flatbush to a first place finish in the Sub League 2. The Dukes ended up with a 81-50 record. Olmedo 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. |   |
