Conant Takes Top WAC Manager Honors Thursday, September 21st , 2017 William Conant celebrated a successful season with the Yuma Gnomes by hosting team officials and select media at a Yuma area first-class eatery. But when he first came to town, the 2017 Western Amateur Circuit Manager of the Year was met with a good measure of skepticism. "Very few people believed in our ballclub when I got here. It just goes to show you that a bunch of talented ballplayers playing together can make any old manager a genius," a modest Conant joked, not fully recognizing his own stature in the baseball community. However, baseball journalists duly noted his managerial skill as he skippered the Gnomes to a 85-59 record this year and a first place finish in the Western Amateur Circuit. |
