Chuck Tanner Baseball Manager of the Year Award
The Chuck Tanner Baseball Manager of the Year Award is the original name for two awards that are given by the Rotary Club of Pittsburgh,[1][2][3] in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It is named for Chuck Tanner, former manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates, and was first awarded on November 17, 2007 at the city's Rivers Club.[1][4] For the first three years, the award was given to a manager in Major League Baseball. In 2010, a second award was presented to the "Chuck Tanner Collegiate Baseball Manager of the Year"; the original award was renamed the "Chuck Tanner Major League Baseball Manager of the Year Award".
During the selection process, a major factor for the committee is each candidate's career achievement.[5]
Proceeds from the annual awards dinner in November are used by the Club to support its humanitarian service initiatives and Rotary Foundation programs.[6]
