MILWAUKEE, WI (WSAU) – For the third straight year, Pat Murphy of the Brewers is baseball’s manager of the year.
No other manager has won the award for three consecutive seasons. Only two other managers have won the award three times in their careers.
The award is voted on by the Baseball Writers’ Association. Votes were cast at the end of the season, but before the playoffs began. The award is based on the regular season only.
The Brewers won 103 regular season games, the most in the major leagues.
Will Venable of the White Sox was the American League manager of the year.
Baseball’s Cy Young awards will be handed out Thursday night. The MVP awards will be announced on Friday.
