Out Voted, The ROY (and I Don't Mean Hobbs) Edition, Cont.

Parts I, II, III, IV, V, and VI

I have one last note on the ridiculousness of the Rookie of the Year eligibility rules. Since they were instituted in 1971, there have been five players who exceed the eligibility thresholds have received votes. One was this year.

Here's the list:

NameYrABIPROY PtsROY Max
Tom Henke1985 60.05140
Greg Mathews1987145.31120
Mark Whiten1991176 2140
Bobby Jones1994 61.73140
Nate Robertson200453.01140

Nate Robertson was this year. Greg Mathews received one vote in 1987 after winning 11 games in 1986. And they barred Lew Ford. Disgraceful.
