Following two major knee surgeries in consecutive seasons, Manny Machado was the only player to play in all 162 games in 2015. This placed the third basemen 4th in voting for the Sporting News’ American League Comeback Player of the Year award. Despite the frustrating season for the O’s, the Gold Glove third baseman gave the fans a reason to keep coming to the ballpark. Machado’s career year involved reaching several milestones, earning a spot on the American League All-Star team, in conversations for MVP, and setting franchise records. The well-deserved season comes after a long and difficult road to recovery.
