Canadians across that great country who are dancing in the street because of their beloved Expos returning to the 1985 PFL Playoffs received even more great news this morning with the announcement that Geoff Brookes was named 1985 PFL Manager of the Year by his peers. Brookes received six of twelve first place votes to edge out Orioles main man Dean Collins for the award. It was Brookes' first MOTY since 1965.
Brookes, on the left in the above picture was celebrating and talking strategy with his son, Sean when this picture was snapped. Immediately after this picture both were doused with tubs of poutine!
Voting was as follows. First place votes are in parentheses.
