greasywheels121 Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 http://whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/pr...t=.jsp&c_id=cws Ozzie Guillen named American League Manager of the Year by the Sporting News CHICAGO -- Ozzie Guillen, who has guided the White Sox to their first World Series appearance since 1959, has been named American League Manager of the Year by The Sporting News. Guillen, 41, led the White Sox to a 99-63 record in 2005, his second season as manager. The 99 wins tied the 1983 club for the second-highest total in franchise history (100 in 1917), while the 16-win improvement from 2004 was the largest in the AL. The White Sox were in first place all 182 days of the season, breaking the franchise record of 169 set in 2000. The Sox owned the best record in the AL every day this season and the best mark in baseball every day from April 30-August 16. The White Sox reached the Fall Classic for the fifth time in franchise history by sweeping the defending World Champion Boston Red Sox in the ALDS and defeating the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, four-games-to-one, in the ALCS. The Sox .875 (7-1) winning appearance thus far is tied with the 1969 New York Mets, 1970 Baltimore Orioles and 1984 Detroit Tigers for third-best in the postseason since 1969 with a minimum of eight games played. Guillen is the fourth Sox manager to be honored by The Sporting News, joining Tony LaRussa (1983), Jeff Torborg (1990) and Jerry Manuel (2000).

Chisoxfn Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Hopefully Ozzie will get the golden ring. On the sidenote, It finally hit me, Ozzie's gonna be coaching the all star game (unless he retires). I gotta be honest, I won't complain one bit if he retired since it would mean the Sox won 4 more games But hopefully they win 4 more and he comes back and they can start making a habit of playoff and world series trips.
