Here are the results of the Rookie of the Year Awards. Really both were no brainers. There were several good rookies this year, but no one rivaled Longoria or Soto. I listed the player and the total number of votes received. Longoria received all the first place votes in the AL, while Soto received all but one that went to Joey Votto.
