In what year did the American baseball player Mark McGwire win the Man of the Year Award?
Marvin Miller Man of the Year Award The Marvin Miller Man of the Year Award is given annually to a Major League Baseball (MLB) player "whose on-field performance and contributions to his community inspire others to higher levels of achievement." The award was created by the Major League Baseball Players' Association (MLBPA) and was presented to the inaugural winner—Mark McGwire—in 1997 as the "Man of the Year Award". Three years later, it was renamed in honor of Marvin Miller, the first executive director of the MLBPA. The award forms part of the Players Choice Awards.
Larry MacPhail Award The Larry MacPhail Award is presented annually by Minor League Baseball (MiLB) to recognize the top promotion effort in the minor leagues. MiLB teams are known for using promotions such as theme nights, in-game promotions and giveaways, specialty foods, and fireworks shows to increase attendance at games. The award is named after Baseball Hall of Fame member Larry MacPhail, who introduced innovations such as night games, team travel by airplane, pension plans, and batting helmets. The award was first presented in 1966 and is usually awarded during baseball's Winter Meetings.
