LAGRANGE'S ROBICHEAUX AND SUMMERLAND'S HALLSTROM HONORED AS IPA SKIPPERS OF THE YEAR
The 2088 Islandian Pro Alliance Managers of the Year were Antoine Robicheaux of the LaGrange Gators and Jayson Hallstrom of the Summerland Sunsets. Robicheaux was named the Ruthlandian Union top manager, while Hallstrom was chosen the Tycobbian Union best skipper. Both are first-time winners.

The 48-year Robicheaux has been the pilot of the LaGrange Gators since 2078. This season his club made great progress by improving from 2nd place and an 82-72 record to a sparkling 105-49 mark and the RU North Division title. Robicheaux had tough competition for the award. He edged out Randy Snow of the Forest City Firebirds, who raised his team up from 2nd place to first place in the RU West Division. The Firebirds upped their record from 89-65 in 2087 to an impressive 105-49 this year. The 61-year-old Snow won the best manager award in 2068, his first season at the helm of the club. Snow starred for Forest City for 13 years, playing the outfield and batting .297 in his career with 301 homers and 1060 runs batted in. Robicheaux only played 6 seasons in the IPA, all with LaGrange and compiled a 33-19 mark with a 3.89 ERA. He was injury-prone during his career.

The best skipper in the Tycobbian Union, Hall-of-Fame hurler Jayson Hallstrom, raised his Summerland Sunsets up from third place and a 78-75 mark to first place and the TU South crown with an 88-66 record. The 71-year-old Hallstrom had a splendid career in the IPA, all with Summerland. He was 368-274 with a fine 2.65 ERA in 20 seasons.

Hallstrom had intense competition, too. La Claire's Jonny Bacon jumped his club up from 95-59 to 101-63 this year, winning their second straight TU West title. Third place in the close balloting went to Mark Markis of the Hartsdale Hellcats, who greatly improved from 83-71 last year to 96-58 this year. They came in third last season and move up to win the TU North this season. Markis won the Manager of the Year back in 2072. He took command of the club back in 2062.
