Bruce Bochy, who came out of retirement this season, won his fourth World Series last night as the Texas Rangers beat the Arizona Diamondbacks in five games. Bochy, 68, led the San Francisco Giants to World Series titles in 2010, 2012 and 2014 and the San Diego Padres to the National League pennant in 1998. Only three managers have won more World Series: Casey Stengel and Joe McCarthy with seven and Connie Mack with five. The Rangers (90-72) made the playoffs as a wild card team, then beat the Tampa Bay Rays, Baltimore Orioles and the Houston Astros to reach the series.

Shohei Ohtani missed the last month of the season with an oblique strain, and he was still the best player in the American League. The Angels DH-pitcher hit .304/.412/.654 with 44 home runs and 102 runs. On the mound, he was 10-5 with a 3.14 ERA in 23 starts. Yankees right-hander Gerrit Cole was the league’s best pitcher, and Orioles infielder Gunnar Henderson was the top rookie. The Orioles and the Rays each placed three players on my AL All-Star team. The Rangers added two players and manager Bruce Bochy.
