TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- Lou Piniella says he's thrilled to be named National League Manager of the Year for leading the Chicago Cubs to the National League Central championship.

Piniella says the honor means a lot because there were several managers in the National League who had good seasons.

The 65-year-old manager earned a $100,000 bonus for winning, which he plans to donate to the team's charity partner -- McCormick Foundation's Cubs Care.

Piniella says that way his good fortune can "get spread around a little bit." He says he's happy that children in the Chicago area will benefit from his award.
