Valentine Won't Manage Marlins Valentine Won't Manage Marlins Valentine Won't Manage Marlins
Valentine Won't Manage Marlins Stamford's Bobby Valentine won't become the next manager of the Florida Marlins. The Marlins have decided to keep interim manager Edwin Rodriguez for the rest of the season. Valentine, now working as an analyst at ESPN, formerly managed the Mets and Texas Rangers. He also managed in Japan. There was instant speculation that he would join the Marlins when the team fired Fredi Gonzalez last week. Valentine was scheduled to visit with the owner Jeffrey Loria, but Valentine did not make a trip to Florida. He even participated in the KIC It Triathlon Sunday in Stamford.

In addition, New Canaan players battled each other in both the Class L singles and doubles finals. "In 1985, we had a similar situation,'' said Dan, a resident of Rowayton who has directed the New Canaan team since 1972. "I would have to say that neither the state nor the county was as talented as they are now. We had stronger pla…
