Tony Conigliaro got off to a good start for the Detroit Wolverines hitting .375 with 6 RBI in his first month to capture the Rookie of the Month Award in the National League. It's a small sample, but it's a good start for Conigliaro.
Don 'No Comment' Calhoun also made the news after capturing the AL Pitcher of the Month Award after going 5-1 with a 1.61 ERA in 50 1/3 innings while striking out 53.
Teammate
Phil 'Gator' White won the Batter of the Month Award after hitting .368 with 8 home runs, 19 RBI, and scoring 19 runs. Unfortunately for Baltimore their two award winners aren't enough to push Baltimore higher than 6th place in the American League.
Steve 'Trixie' Nelson of the Philadelphia Freedom pitched a 5 hit shutout over the Indianapolis Indians earlier this month.
Jose Gonzalez needs just 20 hits to reach 3000 for his career.
40 year old
Nick Joseph is on the cusp of two major milestones with 494 career home runs, and 1431 runs scored, but is currently a free agent, waiting for a team to big for his services.
