Professional Baseball Circuit Selects Manager of the Year Wednesday, November 9th , 2011 Club officials have reported seeing Rick Roberts at the ballpark as early as 7 am. His dedication, coupled with a shrewd management style and a knack for knowing "who's hot and who's not" earned Roberts the Professional Baseball Circuit Manager of the Year Award for 2011. "I guess you could say I pushed all the right buttons at the right time for the Thunder to have the season we did. But keep in mind, too, that I also had a group of dedicated ballplayers who played their hearts out. I thank them for winning this award for me." There was much joy in Tampa Bay this season. Their beloved Thunder took first place in the South Division, rounding out the year with a 63-25 record. |
