Rags won the Rookie of the Year 33 years ago today!
On this day in Yankees history, Dave Righetti was awarded the 1981 AL Rookie of the Year award! Called up in late-May, "Rags" made 15 starts during the strike-shortened season and pitched to a minuscule 2.05 ERA and league-leading 2.12 FIP for the eventual AL champions. Happy anniversary, Dave!
