 | Tamura Wins CL Manager of the Year Trophy Tuesday, October 8th , 1974 Denver Bruins field manager Ben Tamura has brought a winning attitude to the team and the city. His no-nonsense approach, work ethic and baseball experience have paved the way for success. This season the Bruins parlayed his managerial skills and some talented ballplayers into a first place spot in the Century League standings. Denver finished the year with a 81-59 record. To everybody's delight Tamura was voted the 1974 Century League Manager of the Year by the baseball writers. "Mr. Tamura doesn't take any nonsense. If you aren't doing your job, he's not afraid to call you on it," noted one of his ballplayers. "But the team wouldn't want to play for anyone else. He's tough, demanding, but he treats everyone fairly and doesn't play favorites. Nobody gets pampered on his ballclub." |   |
