Happy for Posey some say the kid is not deserving for coming up a month and a half into the season. What he did with his time in the bigs this year is extremely deserving of the award!! A great start to what I feel will be a stellar career! :lol:

 

 

Congratulations Sir!! :wacko:

Anyone arguing that he doesn't deserve it since he came up late is just clutching at straws. The kid absolutely played above his years and that is the definition of ROY. That he's a catcher? Fuggedaboutit. It's one thing for a kid to come in hand hit well while playing OF or something. Yet another to manage a pitching staff and be a clutch hitter.

George "Buster" Rhymes (born January 27, 1962 in Miami, Florida) is a former professional American football wide receiver.

 

Rhymes grew up in Liberty City, an inner-city section of Miami. He graduated from Miami Northwestern High School. He was a High School All-American and received a scholarship to play college football at the University of Oklahoma under coach Barry Switzer in 1981.

 

Buster achieved All-American recognition at Oklahoma as a wide receiver, although he had his share of off-the-field incidents. According to teammate Brian Bosworth after a snowstorm, some players engaged in a snowball fight and Buster Rhymes was hit. He went back into his room, returned with an Uzi, and fired it into the air. A slightly different version of this story was also written by Barry Switzer. At 6 ft 2 in (1.88 m), 218 lb (99 kg), Rhymes was selected by the Minnesota Vikings in the fourth round of the 1985 NFL Draft. Rhymes played in two National Football League seasons for the Vikings in 1985–1986, and in 1985 set an NFL single-season record for kick return yardage with 1,345 yards (which has since been broken). Following his NFL stint, Rhymes went to Canada and played for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League. His two seasons in Canada (1988–89) he won a Grey Cup championship ring in 1988.

 

In 2004, he was convicted of carjacking, and, in a separate incident, possession of crack cocaine.
