Gold Glove
Platinum Stick
Veeck Medal - Manager
NE: Joe McCarthy (Carolina)
SW: Wilbert Robinson (Kansas City)
Another to go from rooster to feather-duster is last year's SW winner Ralph Houk, who gets the chop from Las Vegas and is later replaced by Jimmy Dykes. Portland also fires Walter Alston, leaving just Joe McCarthy and Sparky Anderson still with their original club. The Lizards fill the vacancy with the recently-fired Bill McKechnie.
Chadwick Medal - Best Reliever
The 5th for Tommy, Bobby's third.
Adams Medal - Pitcher of the Year
The second for each.
Rickey Medal - Most Valuable Player
Hard to believe this is Larry's first win. As he did in 1969, Dick takes out the double.
