Bobby Cox takes Manager of the Year award for 2nd straight season
After a season during which he juggled 18 rookies in his lineup at one point or another, yet still managed to make the playoffs, Bobby Cox won the 2006 National League Manager of the Year award in a landslide. This is the 2nd year in a row Cox has taken home the award, making him the first manager to accomplish the feat. He received 28 of the 32 first-place votes cast. The Braves skipper has now been selected as Manager of the Year by the BBWAA 5 times, 3 times in the National League (tied for most in that league along with Dusty Baker). Cox currently ranks 7th on the all-time list with 2,092 career wins as a manager.
