Yesterday Major League Baseball named its rookies of the year for the 2004 season. In the American League, Oakland shortstop Bobby Crosby won the award. Crosby hit .239 with 22 home runs and 64 runs batted in. Had a solid year replacing former MVP and current Baltimore shortstop Miguel Tejada. In the National League Jason Bay won the award. The Pittsburgh left Fielder was the first ever rookie of the year for the Pirates. That is amazing considering Barry Bonds and Roberto Clemente both started out with the Pirates. Bay hit .282 this season with 26 homeruns and 82 RBI. I was suprised the the NL award didnt go to Khalil Greene of San Dieago. Bay had a strong season and Greene was hurt for part of the season. Either player would have been a good pick. The NL Cy Young award comes out today and tomarrow the Managers of the year will be announced.
