Sporting News Rookies of the Year Winners

By Patrick Mondout

The Sporting News (TSN) has selected Rookies of the Year since 1946. The page covers the periods when TSN gave the award to a single player either league (or from both leagues in the first three years). TSN awarded one rookie in all of baseball from 1946-1948, and one player from each league from 1949-1956, 1959-1960, 1962, and 2004 forward.

Of and on from 1957 to 1961 and from 1963-2003, TSN had separate Rookie Pitchers of the Year and Rookie Players of the Years awards.

Share Your Memories!

Our sites have always been by you and about you. If you check our TV Forums or our Technology & Science forums, you'll find literally thousands of messages from fans of 1970s TV shows, survivors of hurricanes or aircraft accidents, etc. from all over the world sharing their memories, asking questions, making comments. Our baseball section is new, but don't let that stop you from sharing your memories of the first game you went to, your favorite player, a now-forgotten stadium, etc. Of course you can also ask questions, post trivia, tell the world what you think of Barry Bonds, or just read what others are saying.
