David Winkler - evropským trenérem roku 2015
Velké pocty a ocenění se dostalo jednomu z našich předních trenérů, Davidu Winklerovi. Ten je čerstvým držitelem prestižní ceny European Baseball Coaches Association. Gratulujeme!!!
David Winkler v reakci na ocenění: "Ocenění jsem nedostal jenom já sám - nebýt týmu obětavých lidí, kteří se mnou již několik let pracují, nikdy by moje práce takových úspěchů nedosáhla. Proto chci vzpomenout zejména jejich každodenní mravenčí úsilí, díky kterému se posouváme vždy o malý kousek vpřed. Je to obrovská pocta pro český baseball a velký závazek do dalších let."
