"Tony (Pena) made it fun for everybody (on the 2003 K.C. Royals) because of his personality. We went through so many injuries this year and yet different guys kept stepping up and giving us a chance to win. Tony set the tone for that. It's amazing how far our team came in one season. We went from losing 100 games to being in first place for a large part of the year. Tony was definitely a difference maker. He deserves to be the Manager of the Year." - Centerfielder Carlos Beltran
