We are clearly struggling for content here if I am making up simulated sign-stealing scandals and finding an excuse to write about Joe Thurston. But here’s something that might be more interesting than those time wasters, a look at all 14 of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ NL Rookie of the Year winners. I’m going to skip Brooklyn in this, though I may eventually revisit those seasons as well depending on how long this baseball freeze lasts.
While the franchise has 18 Rookie of the Year awards between the two cities, Los Angeles’ 14 still tops the next closest franchise, which is of course the New York Yankees (9).
