His dedication, coupled with a shrewd management style and a knack for knowing "who's hot and who's not" earned Harris the Southern League Manager of the Year Award for 1997. "I guess you could say I pushed all the right buttons at the right time for the Tourists 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 Asheville this season. Their beloved Tourists took first place in the Southern League, rounding out the year with a 98-42 record. |
