Good morning!
For the first time since 2020, Chicago White Sox rookie(s!) received votes in Rookie of the Year voting. Down-ballot votes, to be sure, but it is nonetheless a mark in the positive side of the ledger considering where things stood just a few months earlier.
One of the neat features on Baseball Reference is that you can see not just who won a particular award in a given year, but who else received votes and down-ballot consideration. Today, we’ll be taking a gander at other rookie Sox who have received RoY consideration throughout the years. There are 41 names in all: how many can you get? Good luck!
Quiz Parameters
- To qualify, a player simply must have received a vote.
- For hints, I’ve provided the season, RoY finish, and the primary position played, for that year. So, if a player switched to a different position later on for which he may be better known, that isn’t reflected in this quiz.
- I've allotted 15 minutes for completion attempts.
Useless information to amaze, annoy, confuse, and/or confound your friends and family:
- In 1960, Baltimore swept Rookie of the Year voting, with votes going to three players: Ron Hansen, Chuck Estrada, and Jim Gentile.
- From this list, 18 players finished in top-3 voting.
- The only position not repped is catcher.
