BALTIMORE, MD. April 28, 1912 - In the twilight of his career, 38-year-old Steve Joyner of Baltimore recaptured some of the old magic last week and came away with the Federal League Player of the Week Award.
"I've been playing since I was a kid," Joyner told reporters, "but you're never too old to feel the thrill of success."
Joyner outpaced the rest of the league's hitters last week, reeling off 10 hits in 25 at-bats, 2 home runs and 6 RBIs to stake his claim to the award.
This season Joyner is batting .395 with 2 home runs. His totals include 16 RBIs and 12 runs scored.
