Pat Murphy is one of a kind, and now he has the award to prove it. 

The Brewers' baseball-obsessed 67-year-old manager won the BBWAA's National League Manager of the Year Award for the third time after as many seasons at Milwaukee's helm, making him the first man in either league to win the honor in three straight years since the writers added it to the awards slate in 1983.

Murphy led the Brewers to a franchise-record and Major League-best 103 victories during the regular season and then won the World Series.
