Where are they now - Mark Teixeira & Marlon Byrd get ROY votes

Mark Teixeira received 9 votes for AL Rookie-of-the-Year (5th place) and Marlon Byrd receive 6 votes for NL ROY (4th place). Nice going guys!!!!!!

If you are not sure you remember Marlon Byrd well (like me), click here for a detailed story about his history. Now I know why - he damaged his leg as a freshman at GT goofing off, had 3 surgeries, got over 300 lbs and lost his scholarship. Went to Georgia Perimeter Junior College (I thought this was a joke - some reference to GT) for re-hab and now starts for the Phillies. Hard to feel like he is a "GT guy", but congrats anyhow.
