Rookie of the Year Award - Nominees

Dan Brouthers, Troy Trojans - 1B (2-49-.320-13) - He looks like he's going to be one of the better hitters in the league for years to come.

Curry Foley, Boston Red Caps - LHP (33-15, 2.33) - He had a standout year with the National League champions, although his efforts were mostly overshadowed by the team's great hitters.

George Gore, Chicago White Stockings - CF (3-42-.321-1) - One of many standout young hitters this season. He gives the aging Chicago club a new generation of players to build around.

Pete Hotaling, Cincinnati Reds - CF (1-50-.271-0) - One of the many solid young outfielders to break in this season.

John O'Rourke, Boston Red Caps - CF (5-69-.298-1) - Although he's much older than most rookies (30), he still had a standout year, and confirmed that the O'Rourke family has more than one great player.

And the 1879 Rookie of the Year is.... DAN BROUTHERS, with Curry Foley of Boston as the runner-up.
