Burlington Manager O'Neill Named Top Skipper in NNEA Monday, September 28th , 1914 Club officials have reported seeing Micah O'Neill at the ballpark as early as 7 am. His dedication, coupled with a shrewd management style and a knack for knowing "who's hot and who's not" earned O'Neill the Northern New England Association Manager of the Year Award for 1914. "I guess you could say I pushed all the right buttons at the right time for the Lightermen to have the season we did. But keep in mind, too, that I also had a group of dedicated ballplayers who played their hearts out. I thank them for winning this award for me." There was much joy in Burlington this season. Their beloved Lightermen took first place in the Northern New England Association Vermont Circuit, rounding out the year with a 77-55 record. |
