Cleveland Indian's Manager Eric Wedge Wins AL Manager Of The Year!

What in the world is going on?! Two awards going to the Cleveland Indians Organization?! First C.C. Sabathia wins the AL Cy Young Award, now Eric Wedge wins AL Manager Of The Year.

Eric Wedge, who guided the Cleveland Indians to their first division title in six years, was named American League Manager of the Year on Wednesday. It was the second major award won by a member of the Indians in as many days, as C.C. Sabathia captured the American League Cy Young Award on Tuesday. Wedge was the only manager listed on all 28 ballots cast by two writers in each American League city. He collected 19 first-place votes and 116 points - based on a five-three-one tabulation system - to easily win the award. Mike Scioscia of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim finished a distant second with 62 points. Scioscia received four first-place votes. Only four managers received votes. Former New York Yankees manager Joe Torre, now the Los Angeles Dodgers' skipper, got the other five first-place votes and finished third. Terry Francona, who guided the Boston Red Sox to their second World Series title in four years, was fourth. Wedge, the only manager named on every ballot, guided the Indians to a 96-66 record, winning the Central Division crown by eight games over the Detroit Tigers. It was an 18-game turnaround from 2006, when Cleveland finished in fourth place with a 78-84 record.
