One player I haven't talked about before is Anthony 'Fast Lane' Foster of the New York Knights. The 29 year old was named the American League Pitcher of the Month after going 4-1 with a 1.25 ERA. Last year Foster was 19-8 with a 2.39 ERA for the Knights and will be a free agent following this year.

Jorge Barron of the Philadelphia Freedom hit for the cycle in a game against the New York Empires.
