  • 2020 Oakland A's Postseason Media Guide
    2020 OAKLAND A’S POSTSEASON MEDIA GUIDE BOB MELVIN 6 MANAGER Robert Paul Melvin Named as A’s interim manager, June 9, 2011 Birthdate: October 28, 1961 Birthplace/Resides: Palo Alto, California / Berkeley, California Contract Status: Signed through 2021 Bob Melvin completed his 10th season as manager of the Oakland A’s in 2020, a tenure that has included six postseason appearances and two American League Manager of the Year awards. Melvin has a 767-688 (.527) record since being named interim manager, June 9, 2011 and his wins are third most in franchise history behind Connie Mack (3582) and Tony La Russa (798). No other active manager has a longer uninterrupted tenure with his current team. Melvin is now 1260-1196 (.513) in 17 seasons as a Major League manager, including stints with the Seattle Mariners (2003-04) and Arizona Diamondbacks (2005-09). Among active managers, only Dusty Baker (1,892), Terry Francona (1,702) and Joe Maddon (1,278) have more wins. Melvin was named AL Manager of the Year by the Baseball Writers Association of America and the Sporting News in 2018 and Major League Manager of the Year by Baseball America. It was third time he was named Manager of the Year by the BBWAA (2007 with Arizona and 2012 with Oakland) and he is the eighth manager to win the award three or more times, joining Dusty Baker, Bobby Cox, Tony La Russa, Jim Leyland, Joe Maddon, Lou Piniella and Buck Showalter. He was already just the sixth manager to win the award in both leagues and he and Tony La Russa (1988 and 1992) are the only managers to win the award in an Oakland uniform.
