Ancona's Mickens Honored As RU Best Manager
For the second time in his managerial career Manny Mickens of the Ancona Red Elephants has been named the Ruthlandian Union Manager of the Year by leading Ancona (87-67) to the RU North title. Mickens also took the honor in 2007. Marston's Johnny Walters ran second in The Islandian Times poll. He got the Nine (96-58) within an eyelash of winning the RU East as they wound up a very close second to powerful Eastshore (97-57). The Elegants skipper Killer Brewster was third in the balloting. He guided them to the most wins in the RU. Ryan Noland of Rocky Rapids (94-60) was fourth as he led the Snappers to their second straight RU West pennant.

TU Best Manager Award Goes To Typhoons Richburn
The Turon Typhoons won more games than any club in the IPA. That achievement got skipper Whitey Richburn his second Tycobbian Union Manager of the Year trophy. Turon was 102-52 and took the TU South flag for the third successive year and fifth time in six seasons. Richburn was also honored in 2009. Only two other managers received votes in The Islandian Times annual poll. Ozarka's Joe Mac Carney was second as his Naturals (101-52) had the second-best record in the IPA and copped the TU East pennant. The Luxora Zorros (91-63) won the TU North for the second year in a row under Cristo Viamonte, who finished third in the voting.
