The 1952 Sporting News All-Rookie Team

 By JT 

Harry Byrd (L) and Joe Black (R) 

For the third year, The Sporting News picked an All-Rookie Team, and once again it had some big-time names on it. Eddie Matthews ended up in the Hall of Fame as did Hoyt Wilhelm.

Hoyt Wilhelm

Dick Groat had a terrific career, winning two World Series rings, an MVP in 1960 and was the runner-up in another MVP poll in 1960.

Harry Byrd was the AL Rookie of the Year and Joe Black was the NL Rookie of the Year but neither had stellar baseball careers but shined in 1952.
