June 17, 201511 yr Bonds is correct as well. There is still one other. I looked at another page and it had been updated to 3 players. We have Bonds and Ortiz. I'll toss out Derek Jeter and Jason Giambi. If neither of them is correct, I'll go with an off-the-wall guess of Roberto or Sandy Alomar.

June 17, 201511 yr Author I don't think Ted ever won manager of the year. I'm not sure the award even existed back then. Only five managers have won the award while leading a team that finished outside the top two spots in its division. Ted Williams was the first, after leading the "expansion" Washington Senators to a third-place finish (and, at 86-76, their only winning season) in the American League East, in 1969. Buck Rodgers won the award in 1987 with the third-place Expos. Tony Peña and Showalter won the award with third-place teams in back-to-back years: Peña with the Royals in 2003, and Showalter with the Rangers in 2004. Joe Girardi is the only manager to win the award with a fourth-place team (2006 Florida Marlins); he is also the only manager to win the award after fielding a team with a losing record.

That was the Sporting News Award. The MLB Manager of the Year Award has only been awarded by the Baseball Writers since 1983. I think that was the basis for the question since there were only 4.
