MLB award season is upon us.
The American League and National League Rookie of the Year awards were handed out Tuesday night, and Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez and New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso took home the hardware.
They joined an impressive collection of all-time greats who have won the award, including Willie Mays, Frank Robinson, Tom Seaver, Cal Ripken Jr., Rod Carew, Pete Rose, Jeff Bagwell, Johnny Bench and Derek Jeter.
For every future star who claimed the title, however, there's a player who flamed out just as quickly as he arrived on the scene.
