Wilkinson Heights Manager Dubuque Named Top Skipper in SL2 Friday, October 24th , 1980 Steve Dubuque celebrated a successful season with the Wilkinson Heights Tyrants by hosting team officials and select media at a Wilkinson Heights area first-class eatery. But when he first came to town, the 1980 Sub League 2 Manager of the Year was met with a good measure of skepticism. "Very few people believed in our ballclub when I got here. It just goes to show you that a bunch of talented ballplayers playing together can make any old manager a genius," a modest Dubuque joked, not fully recognizing his own stature in the baseball community. However, baseball journalists duly noted his managerial skill as he skippered the Tyrants to a 82-62 record this year and a first place finish in the Sub League 2 East Division. |
