The 2009 MLB Manager of the Year Awards were handed out today. From the American League, Los Angeles Angels manager Mike Scioscia won the award. It is the second time in his career he has achieved the feat. This season, he led his team to the playoffs after one of their players, Nick Adenhart, died in a car accident early in the year. It was Scioscia who lifted and pushed the team through adversity. In the National League, Colorado Rockies manager Jim Tracy collected the honour. Under Tracy, the Rockies made a late-season push to slide into the wild card slot. After the announcement was made, the Rockies signed Tracy to a 3-year contract extension.
