Talk:Major League Baseball Manager of the Year Award

Season linking question
What do you guys think about changing the table up a bit so they link to the individual team's yearly page, as opposed to the general season? IE, for La Russa's inaugural AL win it would link to 1983 Chicago White Sox season not just 1983 Major League Baseball season? Staxringold talkcontribs 03:09, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It's an award for the whole of Major League Baseball. KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 12:14, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Right, but the pertinent season for the award is the season for the winning manager, not simply all of baseball. I'm much more interested in the 1983 White Sox when reading about La Russa's win than simply all of baseball in 1983. Staxringold talkcontribs 04:23, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 * First, it doesn't link to all of baseball; it links to the MLB season. Second, you can go directly from that MLB season to the team season. It's one intermediate click, but the MLB season link is more valuable because it provides context (the only reason to link dates) to other events that happened in that year.

Something is very wrong here. I recall as far back as 1967, when Dick Williams was named A.L. Manager of the Year, Ralph Houk, 1970, and so on. The award undoubtedly began even earlier. Where do they get 1983? (David Lafleche) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thundermist04167 (talk • contribs) 08:48, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

The MLB began awarding a Manager of the Year Award in 1983. Before that, the Sporting News Manager of the Year Award was the de facto Manager of the Year Award, which is why you recall Houk's 1970 award. Kje76 (talk) 19:49, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
