ABC Top Manager Trophy Goes to Diaz Saturday, October 21st , 2006 Boston manager Oscar Diaz was selected as the 2006 Amateur Baseball Circuit Manager of the Year today. He was somewhat of a dark horse next to some of the more flashy managers up for the award. Diaz, who prefers that everyone call him "Cap" or "Skip," tries to shy away from the limelight in a media-driven world. "It's really unfair to the guys that busted their humps all year long to put all the focus on me now. They showed up early, put in extra time in the cage, worked on their fielding, consulted with our coaching staff and really made 2006 a highlight in my career." In fairness to this year's Manager of the Year, Diaz certainly played an important part in the Battalion success as he guided them to a first place finish in the East Division and a 55-33 record. |
