 Rookies of the Year
The rules that determine whether a player is a "rookie" or not have been tinkered with a couple of times since the award's inception.
For example, in 1950, Walt Dropo, with 41 career at-bats prior the season, was deemed eligible as a rookie, while Al Rosen, with 58 at-bats, was not.
To be deemed a "rookie", a player must have not have 130 career at-bats, have pitched 50 innings, or spent 45 days on an MLB roster.
