Mike Shildt after guiding the St. Louis Cardinals to the 2020 FTD World Series has been named Manager of the year. This is now consecutive seasons in which he's won the honor.

Mike Shildt stepped before the microphone today and accepted his National League Manager of the Year award, thanking the whole St. Louis Cardinals organization for making the 2020 season such a success.

Shildt struggled to find the right words. "My father was a drill instructor in the military. He taught me that you have to work hard, set goals and accept responsibility for your actions. That's what the entire St. Louis organization did this year. My dedicated owner, coaching staff, hard-working and talented players and loyal front office all made this award possible. I thank them for it."

And what a year it was. Shildt sparked the Cardinals to a 89-73 record and a first in the National League Central Division standings. Followed by the series wins over the Los Angeles Dodgers (3-1) and New York Mets (4-2). That would setup the seven game classic World Series victory over the Boston Red Sox (4-3)
