"Coghlan made his major league debut on May 8, 2009.
On August 9, 2009, he set the Marlins team record for consecutive multi-hit games at 8.
Chris Coghlan has 47 hits in August 2009, the most for a rookie since Todd Helton hit 45 in the month of August as a rookie. Chris put up 50 hits in September/October 2009, the first rookie with Back to Back 47+ Hit Months, and the first player to do so since Ichiro in 2004."
As a longtime A's fan, I am so happy that Andrew won the ROY. He certainly deserved it. Thanks for giving him kudos on your blog.
