Matsui: Rookie of the Year?

It's all over the media here: Hideki Matsui did not win the Rookie-of-the-Year Award. Apparently, the voting was put into question as one writer decided to make Matsui ineligible for the award due to Matsui's playing professional baseball in Japan for many years. Interesting how much is being written about this situation. It would have been nice had Matsui won the title, but I don't think not winning it will bother him one little bit. (Related story.)
