Buddy Bailey proves his prowess in Venezuela

February 11th, 2008

Buddy Bailey is a long time serving manager in the various Minor league baseball clubs in the U.S. He found his success after joining the Tigres de Aragua club of Venezuelan league or LVBP and since 2002 the Araguans have won four championships and one sub championship. It is the passion for the sport that brings this workaholic man to Venezuela every year in October, once the winter season sets in the U.S. Many American coaches have put their strong feet on the Venezuelan soil, but none were able to achieve what Bailey has so far achieved.

According to Bailey, most American players or coaches who visit Venezuela during the American winter season go there for only a year. But Bailey is of the opinion that one has to get acclimatized with the league as well as the foreign playing conditions to come up with a commendable performance. Moreover, a manager or trainer needs ample time to understand each player and his playing abilities as well as the opponent teams skills and weaknesses. Bailey’s inaugural season in Venezuela in 2003 saw stupendous success and the Tigres team won back to back titles in the successive years. Most of the players as well as the coaches in the Venezuelan baseball league classify him to be a very successful and hardworking manager.
