'Jacks Jackson Chosen RU Skipper of the Year
In a close four-man battle Robbie Jackson of Forest City has been chosen Ruthlandian Union Manager of the Year for 2008. Jackson led the Lumberjacks to an outstanding season as they finished second in the RU West with a 91-63 record, topped only by the division champs, the Colfax Blasters, who chalked up a 100-54 mark, tops in the IPA.

LaGrange's Boo Ladrieux led his Sports from 7th place to the RU North pennant to come in second in the balloting. In third was Wynnamac's Matt Donnelly, who guided them to the playoffs for the first time in the team's history with a first-place finish in the East Division. Rounding out the votegetters was Paco Banderos of San Dimas. He piloted the Rancheros from seventh to first and won the RU South.

Previous winners of the award are Stacy Engel of the Claxton Diamonds in 2006 and Manny Mickens of the Ancona Red Elephants last year.
