 MLS Rookie of the Year Award - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the United States, Major League Soccer (MLS) has handed out a Rookie of the Year Award since its inception in 1996.
MLS, as opposed to other American sports leagues like Major League Baseball, only designates a player as a rookie if the player has had no prior professional experience.
So, for example, although Taylor Twellman finished second in MVP voting in 2002, he was ineligible for the Rookie of the Year Award because he had played on the reserve team of 1860 Munich.

At just 23, Dempsey has already won the MLS Rookie of the Year award and was named in the MLS' Team of the Year in 2005 yet his stats in qualifying for this tournament - just 256 minutes' playing time from seven appearances - hints at a role as an 'impact player' at international level.
Happy either out of midfield or up front, Dempsey is still something of an international rookie yet his talent and commitment are unquestioned, the latter evidenced by him playing two games for his franchise with a fractured jaw.
Whether this tournament represents his breakthrough as an American international remains to be seen but what is not in doubt is that Dempsey will go on to win many more caps at this level.
