NEW YORK -- After leading the St. Louis Cardinals to a 100-win season -- tops in the majors -- Mike Matheny finished second in balloting for National League Manager of the Year.
Beating him out was Joe Maddon, whose Chicago Cubs knocked the Cardinals out of the playoffs.
It was the third Manager of the Year award for Maddon and his first in the NL after guiding the Cubs to their first postseason berth since 2008. Maddon got nine first-place votes for 124 points from the Baseball Writers' Association of America in balloting announced Tuesday.
