1956 MLB All-Rookie Team

 By JT 

Aparicio (l) and Robinson (r)

Here is TSN's 1956 All-Rookie Roster—

Frank Robinson heads the list, with Bill White, Luis Aparicio, and Jackie Brandt among others. Robinson was a dominant NL Rookie of the Year choice (unanimous) and a dominant rookie. Aparicio took 22 of 24 votes in the BBWA ROY AL voting. 

All-Rookie teams by TSN and later Topps are important in cases where there is a dominant rookie of rookies like Robinson and Aparicio. It allows fans to remember and learn all these years later about other good seasons, like by Bill White or Brandt. 

With the new metrics we can learn that White was the top ML First baseman but that in a year without a Frank Robinson White may have been a Rookie of the Year, he hit 22 home runs and stole 15 bases and as mentioned was a whiz in the field. Brandt another Giant hit .298, Don Blasingame played excellent second base for the Cardinals. 

So, to me, these are fun to know and as far as we know, published nowhere on the web but at Baseball Journal.
