Default Trivia: Straight to the Majors

Of all the players who skipped the minors entirely and went directly to the majors after being drafted, there is only one who eventually made the Hall of Fame and only one who won the Rookie of the Year Award.

Who are they?

No idea on the ROY

Wow, that was fast on the first part of the question. Dave Winfield is correct. (Al Kaline also never played in the minor leagues -- and he was a Hall of Famer. But he was never drafted, as the first MLB draft was in 1965.)

Will give some more time for guesses on the other player, the one who won the Rookie of the Year Award.
