1956 MLB, AL and NL Managers of the Year

 By JT 

Tebbetts (l) and Stengel (r)

Reds Skipper Birdie Tebbetts took the NL honor and the MLB honor because in 1956 The Sporting News was the only organization with an MLB-wide award. and Fred Haney was the second-leading vote-getter. Paul Richards of the Orioles was the runner-up to Stengel. 

Casey Stengel won the Manager of the Year Awards in 1949 (MLB), 1951 (AL), 1952 (MLB, AL), 1953 (MLB, AL) and in 1956 he was the AP AL Manager of the Year—five wins in eight seasons. Pretty good.
