NEW YORK -- The New York Mets remain one of two major league teams never to have their skipper win a Manager of the Year award.
Terry Collins finished third in the NL balloting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America, according to results released Tuesday evening.
Chicago's Joe Maddon won the award. He appeared first on 18 ballots, second on 11 ballots and third on one ballot, for 124 points. St. Louis' Mike Matheny ranked second (9-12-6-87).
Collins had three first-place votes, seven second-place votes and 13 third-place votes for 49 points.
Pittsburgh's Clint Hurdle (eight points), San Francisco's Bruce Bochy (one point) and ousted Los Angeles manager Don Mattingly (one point) rounded out the voting.
