Hutchinson and Dykes Named Managers of the Year
Fred Hutchinson of the Cincinnati Reds and Jimmy Dykes of the Cleveland Indians emerge as the managers of the year as both teams become surprise pennant contenders in 1961. The Reds swept Philadelphia to extend their NL lead, while the Indians edged Baltimore in a split, fueling optimism for an all Ohio World Series. Freese and Post fueled Cincinnati with seven hits and two homers, and Perry’s five hitter backed the Indians as they stay within a half game of first.
