Texas League Manager of the Year Award
The Texas League Manager of the Year Award is an annual award given to the best manager in Minor League Baseball's Texas League based on their regular-season performance as voted on by league managers.[1] Broadcasters, Minor League Baseball executives, and members of the media have previously voted as well.[2] Though the league was established in 1888,[3] the award was not created until 1955.[4] The Texas League suspended operations during World War II from 1943 to 1945.[3] After the cancellation of the 2020 season,[5] the league was known as the Double-A Central in 2021 before reverting to the Texas League name in 2022.[6][7]
