Baseball Writers' Association of America American League Manager of the Year Award: Buck Showalter, Baltimore Orioles

Here are the voting results of the 2014 American League Manager of the Year Award. Ballots from two writers in each league city prior to postseason play are tabulated on a system that rewards five points for first place, three points for second place and one point for third place.

It marked the third victory for Showalter, who also won in 1994 with the New York Yankees and in 2004 with the Texas Rangers. He is the first manager to win for three different clubs in the same league. Tony La Russa also won the award for three clubs - two in the AL (Chicago White Sox in 1983 and Oakland Athletics in 1988 and 1992) and one in the National League (St. Louis Cardinals in 2002).

La Russa and Bobby Cox share the record with four victories overall. Cox won in the AL with the Toronto Blue Jays in 1985 and in the NL with the Atlanta Braves in 1991, 2004 and 2005. Showalter joined as three-time winners Dusty Baker (with the San Francisco Giants in 1993, 1997 and 2000), Jim Leyland (with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1990 and 1992 and with the Detroit Tigers in 2006) and Lou Piniella (with the Seattle Mariners in 1995 and 2001 and with the Chicago Cubs in 2008).

Showalter, who piloted Baltimore to its first AL East title in 17 years, was the third Orioles manager to be honored. The others were Frank Robinson in 1989 and Davey Johnson in 1997.

No manager was named to every ballot.
