Fenway Fables

Dustin Pedoria got the first place vote on 24 of the 28 ballots cast as he walked away with the American League ROY.  Delmon Young came in second place and Brian Bannister checked in at third.  Still, it wasn’t much of a contest.  Pedroia hit .317 on the season, which is an all time best for a rookie second baseman.  Pedroia also got it done on the field and he made just six errors.

In all, three different Red Sox rookies picked up votes for ROY.  Dice-K finished with twelve points and Hideki Okajima finished in sixth place with three points.
