Cubs | Rookie of the Year … Not Here

Baseball Digest recently announced their 2007 All-Rookie Team. There were no Cubs on the team this year, as there were none in 2006, or 2005, or 2004, or any year since Kerry Wood in 1998. Since then, 122 players have been named to the Baseball Digest All-Rookie teams, and not one of them has been a Cub. Think of that: 122 players have been named to All-Rookie teams over a period of ten years, and none have been Cubs. It's statistically preposterous to the point where a discerning person would have to assume the result was completely intentional. But we know better.
