 | CA Selects Top Manager, Foresters Whitehead Wins Monday, October 30th , 1961 Cleveland manager Jim Whitehead was selected as the 1961 Continental Association Manager of the Year today. He was somewhat of a dark horse next to some of the more flashy managers up for the award. Whitehead, who prefers that everyone call him "Cap" or "Skip," tries to shy away from the limelight in a media-driven world. "It's really unfair to the guys that busted their humps all year long to put all the focus on me now. They showed up early, put in extra time in the cage, worked on their fielding, consulted with our coaching staff and really made 1961 a highlight in my career." In fairness to this year's Manager of the Year, Whitehead certainly played an important part in the Foresters success as he guided them to a first place finish in the Continental Association and a 88-66 record. |   |
