Baseball success story

Major League baseball has named Luchy Guerra as its Executive of the Year. Luchy is the Los Angeles Dodger’s Administrator of Minor League Operations/Latin American Operations. Surprised at her selection, Guerra told reporters that she was proud to have been elected as a Dominican and wants to share her happiness with all fellow Dominicans. Guerra, a business administration graduate and mother of two children, entered the Dodgers as a translator. Only four women have reached such a high position in Major League baseball, among them Kim Ng of the Dodgers and Elaine Stewart of the Boston Red Sox. Says Guerra, “This is not something simple. To reach this level you have to work a lot and have good knowledge of the ballplayers. You are just a step away from being the (general) manager.”
