Bahadurian of Albuquerque Named TL Best Skipper Tuesday, September 30th , 1997 Albuquerque manager Vache Bahadurian was selected as the 1997 Texas League Manager of the Year today. He was somewhat of a dark horse next to some of the more flashy managers up for the award. Bahadurian, 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 1997 a highlight in my career." In fairness to this year's Manager of the Year, Bahadurian certainly played an important part in the Dodgers success as he guided them to a first place finish in the Texas League West and a 107-33 record. |
