1958-62 - Bruno served as Chatham Minor Baseball Association's supervising instructor, following his brother Willy who had the role in 1957. Bruno was the CMBA supervisor until 1962, a position that was paid by the Chatham Community Centre.
Bruno would practice with each all-star team (PeeWee, Bantam and Midget) for two hours, three times a week. Players all received playbooks as they were taught to play 'The Bruno Way'. He implemented fundamental drills geared to each level while teaching the same team play – such as cut-offs, relays, defensive coverage and signs – which led to a seamless transition as players advanced in the system.
Bruno also stressed the importance of preparedness, work ethic, commitment and how to win and lose graciously.
Bruno supervised the five all-star teams, assisting the managers and coaching staff, a testament to his personality and good working relationship with all managers and coaches.
During Bruno’s five years as supervisor, Chatham teams won 11 Ontario Baseball Association 'A' championships, all at the highest level of competition against bigger cities in the province:
1958 - PeeWee and Midget
1959 - PeeWee and Bantam
1960 - PeeWee and Bantam
1961 - PeeWee and Bantam
1962 - PeeWee, Bantam and Midget
One age group instructed by Bruno won seven consecutive provincial championships from 1957 to 1963 – two as PeeWee, two as Bantam, two as Midget and one as Juvenile.
Many outstanding baseball players had Bruno as a coach, including Fergie Jenkins, Mel and Herb Wakabayashi, Dennis Roebuck, Larry Myers, Ed Myers, Ron Coristine, Bill Twigg, Arnie Robbins, Keith Chandler, Eddie Wright and Phil Gross.
1961 - Bruno played for the Chatham-Merlin Combine Softball Team (Bluewater League Champions)

Although he only spent a limited time in Chatham, Bruno made an impact that is still marvelled today.
