Babe Ruth's first year in MLB was 1914. There was no Rookie of the Year award at that time nor any rules and regulations as to how much a player could play before he lost his rookie status. In 1914, Ruth had 10 at bats and pitched 23 innings which, by today's regulations, would not have caused him to lose his rookie status. Therefore, it could be said that 1915, when he pitched 217 2/3 innings, was his rookie season.
The Rookie of the Year award was started in 1947. For the 1947 and 1948 season, one player was named ROY for MLB as opposed to the way it is today where one player is named ROY for each league. The first MLB ROY was Jackie Robinson.
Depends on the player, good players only spend a year
A player can NOT be considered a rookie in any season AFTER a season during which he was on a MLB roster for 45 days (need not be consecutive). Ross was on the roster of the Oakland A's on 2010 April 7, and was not sent back to the minors until July 11th of that year. Thus, his only rookie year was 2010.
