Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy defended his crown once again Tuesday when he was named the National League Manager of the Year for a third straight season. He’s the first skipper to three-peat in either league since the award was first handed out in 1983.
Murphy, the only manager to be named on all 30 ballots, received 20 first-place votes to easily defeat fellow finalists Don Mattingly and Walt Weiss.
