Awards Leyland, Girardi Cop Top Skipper Hardware
In what may be the least surprising awards announcement of the 2006-07 off-season, Joe Girardi and Jim Leyland have been named NL and AL managers of the year, respectively.

Here's a good poser: has anyone before Girardi ever won this award after already being fired?

Not to my knowledge.  The closest I've been able to find is Davey Johnson, who resigned the day after he won the award due to disagreements with the O's front office.

Manager of the Year, please come this way to join the Gold Gloves on the Island of Irrelevant Awards.
