Yankee Poodle Wins MGR of Year

Ron Gardenhire, whose name alone conjures visions of Yankee post-season celebration, has been given an award by a select committeee dominated by NY sportswriters, ensuring that Minnesota will keep him at least one more year.

Today, IT IS HIGH is naming him...

Yankee Opposition Manager of the Year.

Yes, there is nothing more frightening to the average Bomber fan than the thought of heading to post-season against the wily Gardenhire and his Vikingesque Minnesotans. Once Gardenhire reaches into his bag of tricks, anything can happen -- even Jesse Crane!

Here's to the man we hope manages against us next October.
