Nationals appoint Riggleman manager

By Bill Ladson / MLB.com

WASHINGTON -- As a kid growing up in the 1950s and '60s, Jim Riggleman was a Senators fan and often went to Griffith Stadium to watch them play.

On Thursday afternoon, Riggleman's dreams came true when the Nationals named him their permanent manager with a two-year deal, with an option for a third year. The monetary amount of the contract was not disclosed.

The news comes five months after Riggleman was named the interim skipper, replacing Manny Acta.
