Best rookie season of all time?

RoyalsBlue · 04-06-2007, 11:58 AM

In my historical replay that honor would have to go to LF Chris Duncan of the Colorado Rockies. In his first season in the majors (2005) Duncan eclipsed Ryan Klesko's 11 year old homerun record by 1 and bettered Babe Ruth's 84 year old RBI record by 8. Obviously he was the NL ROY. Here's his main stats

149 games, 201 H, 27 2B, 2 3B, 67 HR, 170 RBI, 134 R, .352/.426/.758, 96.2 VORP

How about you?

Frank Tanana went 20-4 with a 2.32 for one of my division rivals in a inaugural draft historical league.

Without any doubt, the best rookie season I've ever saw (and career, for that matter) was Richard Meraz's.
