The year 1966 likely will be remembered by different people for many different things, but for those of us who art familiar with Larry Shepard's baseball managerial success, it'll be remembered as the year Shepard proved he is human.

It has been said of Shepard, a resident of Lincoln since managing here in the Western League, that if a donkey ever wins the Kentucky Derby, Shepard will be the jockey. Shepard has taken ball clubs from Medford, to Columbus, Ohio, who were made up of lame armed pitchers and .260 hitters and produced one pennant after another. This year at Columbus, Ohio, he took the typical Shepard club with a top pitcher who won only 14 games and only one .300 hitter (he made it on the final day) and finished second by one game.

But despite his continued success as a minor league manager, Shepard has been unable to find a chair in the major league game of musical chairs that is played each season with managers. "If I could just get a chance (at a major league job), I think I could prove myself," Shepard said Saturday prior to leaving his Lincoln home to watch the Huskers play Utah State. "But a lack of major league experience hurts Shepard, a top minor league pitcher for many years, never made it to the majors as a player either.

This despite winning 20 games in each of his first four years as a minor league pitcher. "They keep passing me up because they say I don't have major league experience," he continues.
