j.a. happ sporting news roy

J.A. Happ was voted the Sporting News Rookie of the Year for the National League. Third baseman Gordon Beckham of the Chicago White Sox won for the American League. Happ, who was moved from the bullpen to the starting rotation in late May, went 12-4 with an ERA of 2.93 in 35 games, including 23 starts. Congratulations! Seems like only last year that we were watching Happ pitch for the IronPigs here in the Lehigh Valley.
