Nothing of immense shock here, but it’s officially official: Cubs catcher Geovany Soto is your National League Rookie of the Year, after throwing down an impressive 23 homers and 86 RBIs for the Cubbies. Upstart White Sox second baseman (and likely soon-to-be shortstop) Alexei Ramirez finished second in the AL voting, as Tampa Bay third baseman — and all around beast — Evan Longoria topped the AL ballot.

For their victories, each player gets a bathtub made of gold and a box of Cheerios*.
