Rutkowski Accepts Challenge to Make Honu the Best

Richard Rutkowski and several of the North Shore Honu players visited with some school children as they took time out from a busy schedule. The newly appointed GM has proven he's more than just a baseball man: He's a humanitarian as well.

"Baseball is a community sport, and a general manager needs to be more than just a numbers guy. You need to get out in the community. It's easier if you're winning, but the fans need to know that you're in their corner--that you're a member of the community, not stuck up in your office all the time."
