Minor Manager, Major Additions: Waterloo Royals, Indians and Diamonds

 This will the third in series on the minor league managers of the different minor league teams from Iowa.  Today we will break down the Waterloo Royals, Indians and Diamonds. These three teams succeed the Waterloo Hawk, and were Single A teams.  After Waterloo lost its spot due to stadium issues, they started anew.  Now their team is the Waterloo Bucks, a wood bat college league summer team.  Many major leaguers have come through here, including John Wathan, Dan Quisenberry, Von Hayes and Albert Belle.
