NEW YORK (AP) -- Six weeks after he was fired by Florida, Joe Girardi won the NL Manager of the Year award Wednesday for keeping the rookie-laden Marlins in contention nearly all season, and Detroit's Jim Leyland took the AL honor.

A rookie manager himself, Girardi won easily despite Florida's losing record. He received 18 of 32 first-place votes and totaled 111 points in balloting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. Willie Randolph of the New York Mets was second with eight first-place votes and 81 points.
