Luling Pilot Hallinan Acclaimed ETXA Best Monday, October 25th , 1897 Club officials have reported seeing Jimmy Hallinan 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 Hallinan the Association of Eastern Texas Manager of the Year Award for 1897. "I guess you could say I pushed all the right buttons at the right time for the Lavender Stockings 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 Luling this season. Their beloved Lavender Stockings took first place in the Association of Eastern Texas San Marcos Circuit, rounding out the year with a 59-37 record. |
