Major League Baseball Rookie of the Year Award

 * Nominator(s): Staxringold talkcontribs 19:28, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

After heavy clean-up and ref from the old, pretty good version I feel this list meets all the criteria. Notifying previous nominator, although user appears to have retired/gone on Wikibreak. I have one style question for you FLC folks to decide. I have the 7 winners of the local award by the Chicago BBWAA (from the Vaas source article). However those awards are NOT listed on the official MLB website list, so I have not included them (since the award wasn't really in it's "real" form yet). That ok with everyone?

 * I think it's pretty well established that Jackie Robinson was the first winner of the award in its current form, so it's good the way it is IMHO. KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 19:54, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Support - Nice work here! You added and fixed quite a bit as a result of this FLC, and you did it all very quickly. Pretty impressive stuff! --T orsodo g Talk 20:00, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Support – phenomenal work that I consider equal to, if not better than, my own painstaking quality standards. Great work, Staxringold! KV5 ( Talk  •  Phils ) 19:47, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Support – Another in the series of good baseball award lists that has been coming through here lately.  Giants2008  ( 17–14 ) 21:22, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Comments from
 * "Evan Longoria of the Tampa Bay Rays and Geovany Soto of the Chicago Cubs are the most recent winners." As I said in another baseball award FLC, mention the season in which they won the award.
 * Fixed. Staxringold talkcontribs 01:01, 19 September 2009 (UTC)


 * I know I didn't comment on this on previous FLCs, but how is a "key statistic" determined to be "key"?
 * The base statistics were Triple Crown numbers (AVG/RBI/HR and W/K/ERA), and then if those weren't particularly notable (guys with single digit HRs, for example, or like twice as many runs scored as runs batted in because they were top-of-the-order) I listed other stats (triples, runs scored, stolen bases, etc). Could rename it "Select statistics" if that makes you feel better about it. Staxringold talkcontribs 01:01, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * That would be nice, thanks, but be sure to make it consistent across these articles. Dabomb87 (talk) 04:04, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Done. Staxringold talkcontribs 04:09, 19 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Why are DH and 3B not linked in the AL winners table on two occurences? Dabomb87 (talk) 00:53, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Just a mistake, I used a find/replace to link the positions when I removed that part of the key. Fixed. Staxringold talkcontribs 01:01, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Sources look good. Dabomb87 (talk) 00:53, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
