Back in early September, the voting public of Batter's Box managed a .500 winning percentage in predicting the eventual winners of the AL and NL Rookie of the Year awards, respectively.
The actual winners, just announced, are of course Oakland RP Huston Street and Phillies 1B Ryan Howard.
The voting back when by participating Bauxites had Street just edging out Gustavo Chacin (who actually finished fifth) for the AL award, while over in the NL the click-votes (more than 63 percent of them) went primarily to Jeff Francouer, while Pirate hurler Zach Duke also finished ahead of Howard, who ended up with just 13 percent of the vote overall ...
... Jonny Gomes, who finished third in the AL voting also finished third in the Box preview, but Chacin's solid second place tainted those results while NYY 2B Robinson Cano was left off the ballot entirely.
So the question is, I guess, who's Dale Murphy and who's Bob Horner?
