LaPorte Takes Top SPBC Manager Honors Saturday, October 19th , 2002 Steve LaPorte stepped before the microphone today and accepted his Semi-Pro Baseball Circuit Manager of the Year award, thanking the whole Newark Eagles organization for making the 2002 season such a success. LaPorte struggled to find the right words. "My father was a drill instructor in the military. He taught me that you have to work hard, set goals and accept responsibility for your actions. That's what the entire Newark organization did this year. My dedicated owner, coaching staff, hard-working and talented players and loyal front office all made this award possible. I thank them for it." And what a year it was. LaPorte sparked the Eagles to a 62-26 record and a first in the East Division standings. |
