Tuck's Stevens TU's Top Manager
Actually it is quite simple to win the manager of the year award, all you have to do is win a hundred games and you'll get it for sure. Just ask this year's Tycobbian Union Manager of the Year, Carlton "Lefty" Stevens, first-time recipient of the annual honor given by The Islandian Times. The only problem with that philosophy is winning the hundred games. But Stevens and his Tuckanarra Blue Jays did just that in an outstanding 100-54 season and captured the TU East pennant with ease. The Blue Jays climbed up from fifth place to first place, a remarkable 27-game turnaround over 2012.

"One guy doesn't win an award like this," Stevens said in a conference call. "The Tuckanarra Blue Jays won this award."

Turon's Ashton "Whitey" Richburn was the runner-up to Stevens. Turon is a gifted team season-after-season, but Richburn piloted them to a super 95-69 record and regained the TU South title back after a year's absence. This was 7 games better than 2012. It's a mighty tough task to improve once you reach the 90-win level on a consistent basis like Richburn.

Frisky Franks and his High Mesa Cowboys rode high in the saddle this year with an 88-66 mark. They rose up from sixth place to second place in the tough TU South with an 18-game improvement in their record. Franks was the third highest votegetter in the poll.
