The Sporting News began presenting the first Manager of the Year award in 1936. Originally, the award was given to just one manager a year, but since 1986 a winner has been chosen from each league.
Ironically, the Associated Press went the other way. From 1959 through 1983, the AP chose a manager of the year for each league, but now gives just a single award.
The Baseball Writers Association of America has named a manager of the year for each league since 1983.
