According to the AP, local (Woodland) product Dustin Pedroia has won the American League Rookie of the Year award.  Voting wasn’t even close, with the Red Sox second baseman getting 24 of 28 first place votes.  It’s a nice trophy to put on his mantle next to his World Series championship ring, but I’m sure the biggest accolade he could hope for is a RIGHT AWN! from the ‘Rag.

So here’s to Dustin Pedroia- RIGHT AWN!
