May Awards

Batter of the Month

May's Hitter of the Month has been selected by the Mojave Baseball League. This month's trophy was presented to the Novac shortstop, Bobby McGuire.

He starred by hitting .320 with a .509 on-base percentage, totaled 24 hits in 75 at-bats, 2 home runs, 13 RBIs and scored 25 runs.

A look at his current stats shows McGuire with a .350 average, 4 home runs, 19 RBIs and 37 runs scored. He has played in 45 games.

Pitcher of the Month

Ron Heath was the anchor in the Ultra Luxe bullpen last month and snatched up the Mojave Baseball League Pitcher of the Month honors for May. The 28-year-old is in the prime of his career and pitching like he intends to stay around baseball for quite some time to come.

He threw 10.2 innings over 11 relief appearances and collected a 2-0 record with 10 strikeouts and 6 saves while etching his 0.84 ERA.

This season Heath has notched 7 saves with 16 strikeouts and 3 walks in 16.1 innings while registering a 4.41 ERA and a 3-0 won-lost record.

Rookie of the Month

A veritable toddler to the Mojave Baseball League, Tom Junktown Junkie just sewed up the Rookie of the Month trophy for May.

Over the past month the 19-year-old first baseman for Gomorrah hit .324 with 35 hits, no home runs and 8 runs batted in. He also logged 2 walks and compiled a .336 on-base percentage.

Currently Junktown Junkie is batting .311 with no home runs and 9 RBIs.

News and Notes

5.1.86 - Player personal leave

We reported at the time of his suspension that New California Republic minor leaguer Artie Dennis has a sick daughter. Now Dennis has a chance to take care of her.

Dennis is taking a personal leave from the NCR Cubs to see a radiation sickness expert visiting from Shady Sands. Reportedly Radaway has been ineffective in curing his daughter’s radiation poison and her voice is starting to take on a ghoul’s tone.

The radiation expert is supposedly very good at preventing the onset of ghoulism in people in the early stages of transformation.

5.1.86 – Players suspension (fighting)

A post-game bar fight turned nearly deadly and cost one player his eye.

Following RobCo’s 11-4 victory at Cottonwood Cove, the teams went out together to at The Tit on the Lake. There Lakelurks third baseman Andrew Zimmerman and RobCo shortstop Chris Parker got into an argument that eventually became a fist fight.

Zimmerman then picked up a whiskey bottle and hit Parker with it, severing Parker’s left eye from the socket.

Both players are considered top prospects in the Mojave Baseball League and the incident may have been one of egos colliding. Parker is the 18th ranked prospect, while Zimmerman is the 13th ranked prospect.

Parker will miss about a month to get eye reparation or replacement surgery in the New Vegas Medical Clinic. Zimmerman was automatically suspended 30 games for using a weapon in a fight with a league member.

5.7.86 - Player return

Good news for New California Republic minor leaguer Artie Dennis. After taking a leave to see radiation sickness and ghoulism expert Dr. Salty Van Gina, Dennis is happy to report that his daughter is cured of all radiation sickness.

“She’s laughing and playing and sounds like a three-year-old again, not a 98-year-old chain smoker,” Dennis said.

Dennis returns to the lineup tonight for the NCR Cubs’ game at Bitter Springs.

5.13.86 – Player suspension (chem use)

It took a while in May for there to be a positive chem test. And the sweepstakes winner is . . . a nobody. Shane Danior of the Tops organization and who is probably destined to spend the entirety of his career in the minors tested positive for Med-X. He will now sit five games. Yawn. Wake us up when a major player gets busted.

5.15.86 – Player suspension (major chem use)

Tony Ocasio has only been with the Atomic Wrangler organization for two weeks after being picked up as a street free agent. Now the occasional minor league player will be suspended the next 15 games for testing positive for Fixer. He may also find himself back on the street.

5.19.86 – Team suspension (alcohol incident)

Young people can be pretty stupid when it comes to alcohol. Sunset Sarsaparilla’s Jeffery Thomason is an outright idiot.

Just two days after winning the Prospect Leagues Player of the Week award with Bitter Springs and the same day that the Fire Ants awarded him by promoting him to the big league club, Thomason got drunk in celebration and destroyed the team’s batting cage.

Sunset Sarsaparilla then suspended the youngster for the next nine games and will probably have to call Tom Somerset, whom they just demoted, back to the big league club.

5.23.86 – Death

Sad news in the Mojave Baseball League today as minor leaguer Ben MacDougall, signed just two weeks ago by the Ultra Luxe organization, has died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was found at the Cottonwood Cove Overlook.

The youngster was not drafted in the 2285 draft. Reportedly he was working hard to make a team, but only recently was signed and then assigned to Hidden Valley. However, he could not earn his way onto the field and was close to being released.

The team was considering canceling today’s game against the Lakelurks, but owner Marjorie Hand denied that request. She said that death is a part of the Mojave, so the games must go on even if a player dies.

(Author’s note: Sorry if this part of the dynasty offends anyone. I am trying to stay true to the Mojave world, so death is a very real part of the game. However, suicide doesn’t have to be. I have a chart I am using. I rolled snake eyes, meaning player injury event; random numbered self injury, meaning something done to himself; and then another snake eyes equaled death, thus suicide. Again, if this is offensive, let me know—you can PM me—and I will make sure this type of random event never happens again. Likely it won't, but it could.)

5.25.86 – Player suspension (major chem use)

Greg Greer probably thought he would be having a better year. But the youngster has been struggling from the Goodsprings pen with a 6.11 ERA. Now he has been suspended 15 games and entered into the league’s major chem use program after testing positive for Jet.

5.31.86 – Player absence

The Goodsprings organization probably panicked when they were missing a key player for his start today: Earl Robinson, the staff ace.

Instead, it was a case of bad timing and bad luck. Robinson made a quick trip to Goodsprings from the series against Atomic Wrangler in Westside to help his wife move to their new place.

Unfortunately, help meant doing it alone, and Robinson found himself locked in a bathroom that locked from the outside only. Team officials were aware that Robinson was in Goodsprings, so a search for him discovered him in his unfortunate situation. As a third unfortunate event, Robinson missed the game against the Wranglers.

Thankfully for Robinson, Buck Buckley stepped in and the Lucky 38s offense cruised to an 11-3 victory. Goodsprings has the day off today, but Robinson is expected to get the start tomorrow at Gomorrah.

5.31.86 – Team suspension

Collin Kotb of Gomorrah has been suspended by the team for habitual alcohol abuse. The team will give him a two-week break to get his act together. With travel time to and from the rehabilitation facility, Kotb is expected to miss the next 12-14 games.
