See How They Voted; Get Ticked Off


Who's excited about the announcement of the National League and American League Rookie of the Year honors tonight?

Me too!

I'm so excited; I may soon wet my pants.

Sorry about the above sentence. That's not the kind of thing you write on a respectable baseball blog. 

Ahem.

Anyway, I just noticed a few minutes ago on Twitter that, after the announcements have been made, baseball fans – well, anyone actually – can visit the Baseball Writer's Association of America website to see exactly how the ballots were cast.

This is a new thing for the writers, and it'll fun, if nothing else, to see which writers voted for which players.

(Wouldn't it cool if you could see how people voted in the presidential election? Oh, wait. I think we can. I called Facebook.)

The BBWA announcement show airs at 6 p.m. Eastern on MLB Network.

Here are the finalists for the Rookie of the Year awards:

American League
Yoenis Cespedes, Athletics
Yu Darvish, Rangers
Mike Trout, Angels

National League
Todd Frazier, Reds
Bryce Harper, Nationals
Wade Miley, Diamondbacks
