Bob Wirz had this blog entry: NOTTLE'S HAPPY LANDING IN OTTAWA..
).
In case you missed the news, I suspect much of the Independent Baseball world is taking a sigh of relief over Thursday's announcement that Ed Nottle is going to manage the new Ottawa Rapides of the Can-Am League. We had lamented in our Independent Baseball Insider column December 20 how the personable Nottle's streak of managing in every season since the Indy game re-started in 1993 might end. Now, he and Doug Simunic of Fargo, ND in the Northern League can continue their march as the only two managers in each of Years 1-16.I have to admit I had't realized that Doug had anyone "that close" to him in any indy league statistic. Good Luck to Ed. Maybe he can win another C-AL championship (though I doubt he'll be on Letterman again managing in Canada
).
