Writers loathe giving Yankees individual awards. 2 years after giving Ichiro BOTH ROY and MVP (Sasaki the year before when he was 32) when Matsui came in, writers all of a sudden were like " u ain't really a rookie" and gave it to Angel Berroa (De Lo Mio).
Rarely do Yankees win stuff like ROY, MVP, even Gold Gloves are infrequent
Lol I’m not buying baseball having some agenda against the Yankees. Jeter is a very famous recipient of the Yankee stimulus package.
Matsui should’ve won ROY though
