94 Bob Hamelin. Destroyed the voting with 25 first place votes and beat out Manny Ramirez. 380 games later he was gone from MLB.

Walt Weiss. Talk about a seriously weak AL field in 1988. The only eventual standouts were Brian Harvey and Melido Perez.

Weiss was a horrible choice, but the A's were the kings of baseball in those days, with Canseco and McGwire. That alone probably gave Weiss half his votes, just the association with the Bash Bros. For what it's worth, the 1988 AL ROY voting by WAR would have looked VERY different:

1. Jody Reed - 3.38
2. Don August - 3.17
3. Walt Weiss - 2.79
4. Brian Harvey - 2.57
5. Dave Gallagher - 2.51

Kenny Lofton should have won in 1992, but Listach wasn't a bad choice. Actually, all four vote-getters in 1992 were worthy (Dave Fleming and Cal Eldred also had great years).

What's mind-blowing is that Eric Karros was the runaway NL ROY in 1992, and probably deserved it, but his ROY year was only worth 0.35 WAR.

The one that gets me mad because the voters picked him over matsui.

Geovany Soto - in fact Mitch Williams on the Saturday Fox national broadcast even made a comment about him winning ROY and not doing much else since 2008.

Marty Cordova won it for the Twins in 1995 or 1996. He had a solid rookie season and never put it together after that primarily due to injuries.

When I was more heavily involved in the PSA Registry, we got a ROY set added, where you'd register a RC of each ROY. It was amazing looking at the list because there was a complete spectrum of superstars, solid players, flukes, tragedies, and WTFs.

1990 Sandy Alomar Jr (Kevin Maas came in 2nd)

I remember pulling his RCs from 1989 UD high # boxes and trading them back for more wax. Good times.
