Leyland
] gets NL
honor
NEW YORK (AP) — Jim Ley
land, who guided the Pitts
burgh Pirates to their third
straight National League East ti
tle this season, was named NL
Manager of the Yoar on
Wednesday.
Leyland was votod first on 20
of 24 ballots and received 100
points overall to beat rookie
manager Felipe Alou of the
Montreal Expos. Alou. who
took over in May for Tom Run
noils, was named on three first
placo ballots and received 65
points. The other first-place
vote went to Atlanta's Bobby
Cox, who finished third with
29 points.
It was the second timo in the
throe years that Leyland has
been namod Manager of the
Year in voting by the Baseball
Writers Assoc iation of America
The Pirates finished 96-66
this season and beat the Expos
by nine games. It was u surpris
ing success for Pittsburgh after
losing outfielder Bobby Bonilla
to froe agency and trading
pitcher John Smiley just before
the start of the season for finan
cial reasons.
Leyland's regular season suc
cess. however, was once again
spoiled in the playoffs as the
Pirates lost to the NL West
champion for the third straight
year. This tiino was particularly
painful as Atlanta rallied for
throe runs in the bottom of the
ninth inning of Game 7 to keep
Leyland and the Pirates out of
the World Series again.
Leyland did a masterful job
of platooning this season, using
his bench and usually coming
up with the right pitcher.
The Piratos got the expectod
production from outfielders
Barry Bonds and Andy Van
Slyke, but Leyland got more
than expected from players like
Alex Cole. Cecil lispy and Don
Slaughl.
