FROM CHANNEL 69
From a Lehigh Valley sports standpoint, the year 2011 was pretty entertaining. There were several state champions at the high school level and record-breaking offenses in both high school and college football.
But ultimately, one story stood above the rest from the year 2011.
Our 69 Sports Lehigh Valley story of the ear comes from Coca-Cola Park.
Ryne Sandberg, the Hall of Famer, took over as IronPigs manager this year, and took the 'Pigs to unprecedented heights.
Sandberg took a team that had never even been above the .500 mark, and led them to their first ever playoff appearance, then all the way to the International League Finals.
Sandberg was then named Minor League Baseball's Manager of the Year for his efforts.
Meanwhile, the IronPigs also topped all of Minor League Baseball in attendance this year, making Coca-Cola Park the most visited Minor League venue in the entire country.
Both on and off the field, the IronPigs' smashing success checks in as our 2011 Lehigh Valley sports story of the year.
