Baysox Manager Gary Kendall Talks Eastern League Championship

Bowie Baysox manager Gary Kendall joined the Scott Garceau Show with Jeremy Conn to talk about Bowie's first ever Eastern League Championship.

Gary talked about an under-rated player that had a big impact on the teams success throughout the year. "You have names like Mancini and Latimore that had above average years but Garabez Rosa was a guy who coming into this year we were really relying heavily on. He was a guy who plays multiple positions, he can defend, he's a good fastball hitter. He got off to a really tough start then he got his feet on the ground with about a month to go and he wound up walking away with the MVP honors."

Gary commented on just how difficult it is to win a championship in the minor leagues. "It's hard to win a championship and the reason why is because there are a lot of moving parts, you got to stay healthy, you got to get the right breaks and usually some guys have to step up which happened for us. A lot of this goes to Brian Graham and our farm department because they gave us those pieces."
