1965 Topps All-Star Rookies
Below are the winners of the 1965 Topps Rookie All-Star awards. While
Jim Lefebvre was the runaway choice for NL Rookie of the Year (ROY) over
Joe Morgan, the Topps' panel chose Morgan as the second baseman over
Lefebvre for this team marking the second time a ROY did not make the
Rookie All-Star team (1962 was the
first).
Topps, a maker of baseball cards since the early 1950s, began awarding the top rookies of each year in 1959.
The winners had a "rookie trophy" added to their baseball card
to denote the award the following year between 1960 and 1978 (except 1974) and starting
again in 1987. Read more about the award here.

Notes: Topps chooses three outfielders
regardless of position (LF, CF, RF). Such players are therefore shown above in
random outfield positions and not necessarily where they played. Not all winners each year appeared on Topps cards the following season.
