Columbia's Schofield Cops SAL Best Manager Award Saturday, September 30th , 2023 Dick Schofield celebrated a successful season with the Columbia Fireflies by hosting team officials and select media at a Columbia area first-class eatery. But when he first came to town, the 2023 South Atlantic League 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 Schofield joked, not fully recognizing his own stature in the baseball community. However, baseball journalists duly noted his managerial skill as he skippered the Fireflies to a 84-54 record this year and a second place finish in the South. |
