Unbelievable - Manager of the Year
Nov 18, 2015 01:13 AM #1

Royals picked in the pre-season to take 4th in the AL Central.......Ned guides them to the best record in the American League and a World Series title.......and Ned doesn't even finish in the top three of the AL Manager of the Year balloting!

Amazing!

DId he win it last year? Sometimes that means he doesn't win it again, not saying it's right, but that seems to be how these things work.

@SoftballDad2011 Makes you wonder don't it? Takes the Royals to the 7th game of last years WS and then wins the whole shootin match this year.

Ned has a world series :ring: :-) Not to mention two AL :flags:

One is a popularity contest and subjective.

The other is indisputable and empirical.
