Jonathan India built an impressive season to become NL Rookie of the Year, but is it the best ever for a Cincinnati Reds player? We break down the other seven Reds Rookie of Year Winners and match India's performance up with each of them. Then to finish off the pod, we rank India's season amongst the eight and look at one Rookie of the Year winner for the Reds who wouldn't win the award, today.

Frank Robinson was the first Cincinnati Reds player to win Rookie of the Year. He heads up a group of talented first-years that includes Johnny Bench, Pete Rose, Tommy Helms, Chris Sabo, Pat Zachry, and Scott Williamson. They all had good seasons, but who had the best?

We then match up Jonathan India's year with each of the previous Reds Rookie of the Year winners and tell you who takes the crown, one-on-one. Some are easy to call, others are too close for comfort.

The podcast concludes with a ranking of each Reds Rookie of the Year performance. Not looking at each player's entire career, just their rookie season. Frank Robinson had the best rookie season, but where does Jonathan India end up? And which Reds Rookie of the Year wouldn't have won the award in today's MLB baseball climate?
