PCL Top Manager is Tucker of Reno Thursday, October 23rd , 2031 When Scooter Tucker was hired to lead the Reno Aces, fans were expecting improvement over the last manager. Today, flanked by team officials, Tucker accepted the Pacific Coast League Manager of the Year Award, noting the level of passion for the Reno Aces. "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." Tucker led Reno to a first place finish in the West Division. The Aces ended up with a 93-57 record. Tucker 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. |
