Longoria, Soto win Rookie of the Year Awards
2008-11-10 11:01
by Bob Timmermann

Evan Longoria of the AL champion Tampa Bay Rays won the Rookie of the Year Award, easily outdistancing Alexi Ramirez of the White Sox. Longoria was the first unanimous pick in the AL since Nomar Garciaparra won the award in 1997. Longoria is the first Ray to ever win a BBWAA award of any kind.

In the NL, Geovany Soto of the Cubs took ROY honors. Soto got all but one first place vote. Joey Votto of the Reds got the other one. Soto is the first catcher to win the award in the NL since Mike Piazza won it in 1993 and he's the first Cub to win the award since Kerry Wood in 1998.

Glad you posted THOSE links, cause the BBWAA site has the most nauseating electric lime colored background.

I knew about the 4 in a row the Dodger's took in the mid 90's but had no idea about the 79-82 streak as well.
