Legendary New York Metro Manager Passes
Walter "Red" Conry
Policesoftball.com sadly has learned that Police Softball Hall of Famer Walter "Red" Conry passed away early this morning. Red was the long time Manager of the famed NY Metro team and a fixture in this sport for over 25 years. He was named the Manager of the All-Time Police Softball team and considered by many to be the most iconic manager in the sport.
We have many memories of Red but one of our best is the joy on his face during World Series VI when he took the field with an entire team of NY Metro players during our Hall of Fame game. Watching him stand shoulder to shoulder with an entire NY Metro team that represented 3 decades of excellence was like watching a proud father stand next to his children on graduation day. Our condolences to Red's family and everyone associated with the NY Metro team.
Red made such an impact on our sport that Policesoftball.com has renamed their annual Manager of the Year award, the "Walter Conry Manager of the Year Award." All plaques and refrences to that award will from this point forward have Red's name attached to them.
