Virdon said during have to play the players I flunk will help us win games." NEW YORK (UPI) Bill Virdon. a quiet, yet firm field leader wrho guided the Houston Astros to their first National League West title, was named NL Manager of the Year Monday by the United Press International for the second consecutive year. In a voting conducted by UPI of 50 correspondents from across the nation, Virdon received 20 votes to beat out Atlantas bobby Cox, who got 15 votes. Dick Williams of Montreal finished third with five votes and Joe Torre of New York and Dallas Green of Philadelphia received four votes each. Last year Virdon won the award for leading the Astros to a second place finish behind Cincinnati in the NL West. Few managers in recent years ever accomplished so much under such adverse circumstances as Virdon did in 1980. The team lost its star pitcher, J.R. Richard, with a stroke on July 30 but refused to give up and, with Vem Ruhl providing a much needed lift to the pitching staff, held on to win the division title by beating the Los Angeles e playoff. Dodgers in a Houston also pushed Philadelphia to the limit before losing the NL championship series in five games. Much of the reason for the Astros most - in power. Knowing his club was sorely lacking Virdon stressed fundamentals from the opening day of spring training and the Astros employed build a winning speed, defense and pitching to season. One of Virdons skills as a manager is his ability to keep his club at an even keel, win or lose. Unlike many managers who brood over a tough loss, Virdon remains calm and in control." Our team doesn't get too upset over losses or too high over victories," said Virdon.
