 | Heartland League Chooses Best Manager Monday, September 29th , 1913 Lew Damon stepped before the microphone today and accepted his Heartland League Manager of the Year award, thanking the whole Grand Rapids Furnituremakers organization for making the 1913 season such a success. Damon struggled to find the right words. "My father was a drill instructor in the military. He taught me that you have to work hard, set goals and accept responsibility for your actions. That's what the entire Grand Rapids organization did this year. My dedicated owner, coaching staff, hard-working and talented players and loyal front office all made this award possible. I thank them for it." And what a year it was. Damon sparked the Furnituremakers to a 84-56 record and a first in the Heartland League standings. |   |
