It was his first year after 3 with Texas.<BR/><BR/>If it works for the guys coming over from Japan, makes perfect sense he was eligible in the National League in his first year there.<BR/><BR/>After all, it is the "National League" rookie of the year, not the "MLB" rookie of the year.<BR/><BR/>How dare you point out the inconsistencies in the voting of the BBWAA? They say its right, so it must be.<BR/><BR/>Next thing you'll be telling me the Electoral College is outdated and archaic!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131289420618991795.post-61506550148116442482008-11-11T01:47:00.000-05:002008-11-11T01:47:00.000-05:00David Eckstein over Jerry Rice, IMO.

They took the table from last year, where Loney got one third place vote, and replaced the top 6 guys with the real NL votes, and mistakingly left Loney on it. He did not receive any vote this year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131289420618991795.post-73253547391737188902008-11-10T16:40:00.000-05:002008-11-10T16:40:00.000-05:00You're right, Grant.
