2009 Baseball Coach of the Year
Steve Ludwig
(Majors Baseball - Cubs)
“Steve is able to mix the discipline of baseball with the
teaching of respect and honor to the boys and their parents. Steve has an
amazing gift to speak to the boys and relate inspiring life situations to the
youth baseball program” ... “Steve would tell the boys, Baseball is supposed to
be fun. A winner is someone who has fun.”

Steve Ludwig with AAYO Commissioner Dan Black.
2009 Softball Coach of the Year
Brian Spears (Minors Softball –
White Sox)
“He has patience with the girls
and creates a great atmosphere for all the girls, no matter what their level of
the game might be.” … “He talks to the girls, not at the girls” … “He always
emphasizes the fun of the game and says ”Let’s have fun out there!” during every
game. Brian never emphasizes winning, the team record or personal statistics.”
