Lou Piniella,Joe Maddon: MLB Managers Of The Year



Lou Pinella once managed in Tampa Bay.

Joe Maddon now does manage in Tampa Bay.

The current Cubs and Rays skippers were honored for their team's performance during the regular season.

Lou Piniella was honored as the National League Manager of the year.

Piniella managed the Chicago Cubs to the National League's best record, a 97 win season, in 2008. The Cubs were the National League's best team in the regular season, even if they did Nothing right in the postseason.

Joe Maddon was honored as the American League's Manager of the Year.

Joe Maddon helped reverse the culture of losing in Tampa Bay, as Maddon led Tampa to a 100 win season in the American League East, tough to do considering that is the same division that the Yankees and Red Sox both play in. Maddon also helped lead Tampa Bay to the 2008 World Series.

Congratulations to these managers on their acheivement.
