It won't bring back the World Series, but Joe Maddon was rewarded for a standout season with the Rays with the American League Manager of the Year award.
"Truly a remarkable season in so many different ways," Maddon said on a conference call about two hours after arriving in Rome on his honeymoon.
Maddon was a runaway winner in balloting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. He received all but one of the 28 first-place votes - the other went to Minnesota's Ron Gardenhire.
It was a nice wedding gift for Maddon and his wife, Jaye, who got married last weekend. But it meant that one of the first things he did in Italy was get on the phone with reporters. "Jaye is very understanding of the whole situation. We knew this was a possibility," Maddon said.
Well done Joe, now enjoy your honeymoon...
