ThePhiladelphia Phillies annual franchise awards have been given since 2004 by the Philadelphia chapter of theBaseball Writers' Association of America to four members of thePhiladelphia Phillies franchise for "season-ending achievements." The awards were created byBucks County Courier Times[1] Phillies beat writer Randy Miller, who also served as the chairman of the BBWAA's Philadelphia chapter. Winners receive a glass trophy shaped like home plate. In 2014, a fifth award was added: the Charlie Manuel Award for Service and Passion to Baseball. It was discontinued in 2015.
Each year the club will present this award to an amateur or professional scout who best exemplifies the Phillies' standard for scouting while demonstrating the same loyalty, work ethic, dedication and passion as the award's namesake.
