He may be ensnared in that baseball backwater known as Cleveland but Dino "Dingo" Restelli will most likely win the AL Rookie of the Year Award going away.

The 2nd round draft selection was slowed early by broken ribs and didn't catch fire until the last two months of the season. When the flame was ignited, oh, did it burn so brightly.

When the regular season concluded, Restelli finished with a .274 BA, .377 OBP, .563 SLG, 34HR and 102 RBI. His HR total tied for the major league lead with Hank Sauer. On top of that, add in his gold glove caliber defense in centerfield.
