Washington's Cooan Voted EC's #1 Skipper 
<Josh Cooan:manager#49> celebrated a successful season with the <Washington Senators:team#262> by hosting team officials and select media at a <Washington:team#262> area first-class eatery. But, when he first came to town, the 2032 Eastern Conference Manager of the Year would've been lucky to be invited out for beers with the ground-crew.

"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 <Cooan:manager#49> joked, not fully recognizing his own stature in the baseball community.

However, baseball journalists duly noted his managerial skill as he skippered the Senators to a 112-51 record this year and a first place finish in the Eastern Conference.
