Long-time Manistee Saints player, manager, and executive was recently named the National Amateur Baseball Federation Man of the Year for his 62 years of service to amateur baseball.

The award was presented at the NABF annual meeting in Linthicum Heights, MD on November 9.

           The Manistee Saints have announced the resignation of Jamie Weinert as Saints Manager.

 Weinert, a first-year manager, led the Saints to an 18-9 season and a GCBL play-off

 championship.

            Weinert cited family commitments as his reason for stepping down after just one season but

 said “I’ll be a long, loyal Saints fan, even after my boys are done playing. I love watching the

 young guys play.”

             The Saints will begin the search for their new manager immediately.
