I realize that this thread is closed but it caught my attention. The best manager and the favorite manager could be 2 different people.
The best manager should not necessarily be the manager of the league champion or who was the most active in the forum. It should be who did the best job with the talent that he has. This is why Phil Jackson did not win more Coach of the Year awards. It could be a manager with an ordinary team who did a great job with a group of players that exceeded everyone’s expectations.
The favorite manager is more of a popularity contest that is never held. It is a likeable person who could be an ordinary manager but is well liked by his peers. It could also be someone who was very active in the forum.
Looking at Season 18 if you include the playoffs the best manager was probably Tachenko. He probably did the best job with the roster that he had as he beat a 22-0 team with his 11-11 team to get to the Finals. I keep saying probably because I was not here but some of you were.
You could also start an argument about who was the real MVP. The votes for Manager of the Year and for MVP are very rarely unanimous.
