Jim Gonzalez

Boston Bandits (2000-
Gonzalez was chosen to be the first ever Boston Bandits manager. His conventional managerial approach didn't have the expected impact upon arriving in his new ball club, with Boston ending the season with the worst record of the league.

The following year, Gonzalez brought the team to the Championship Series. Boston will finally win against Dallas, becoming the first team in history to go from last to first in a single year. Gonzalez won the Manager of the Year Award for his efforts.

Gonzalez continued his good work with the Bandits, placing second in 2002 and going for the second straight year to the Championship Series. However, they lost in five games to Dallas.
