Monday, July 1st, 2120: Kirby NL Outstanding Batter of the Month
To survive in the bigs, you've got to be a scrapper like Mike Kirby. It never pays to take a day off from the batting cages or to shrug off the advice of the hitting coach. It all paid off today as New York's first baseman pinned down the National League Batter of the Month trophy today.

He hit .450 in June collecting 13 home runs, 30 RBIs and 35 runs scored.

This year Kirby is batting .370 with 26 home runs and 68 RBIs. In 79 games he has scored 72 times.

Monday, July 1st, 2120: AL Honors Wooten, #1 Batter in June
Mike Wooten of the Rays hit .418 in June with 9 home runs, 25 RBIs and 34 runs scored to capture a majority of votes for the American League Batter of the Month trophy.

The 42-year-old is in the last year of his contract and will undoubtedly use these numbers to try and bring in a huge pay raise.

This year Wooten has batted at a .372 pace with 97 hits, 26 home runs, 58 RBIs and scored 77 times.

Monday, July 1st, 2120: Whalers Shimizu Named AL's Best Pitcher
Veteran Sadao Shimizu put together quite a successful stretch in June for the Hartford Whalers, earning himself the American League Pitcher of the Month award.

Shimizu racked up a 5-0 record in 6 starts, posting a 1.74 ERA over 41.1 innings and striking out 54.

Over the season Shimizu has thrown 113.2 innings and dished out 140 strikeouts with a 11-0 mark and a 1.98 ERA.
