Jim Tracy of Colorado won the NL Manager of the Year award on Wednesday -- and earned a new contract, too -- while Mike Scioscia of the Los Angeles Angels was selected for the AL honor.
Tracy received 29 first-place votes and two seconds for 151 points in balloting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. Scioscia got 15 first-place votes, 10 seconds and one third for 106 points.
The Rockies promoted Tracy from bench coach after Clint Hurdle was fired in late May and won the wild-card race. Scioscia kept the Angels going after the death of pitcher Nick Adenhart, and they won their fifth AL West title in six years.
