1B Archie Imanov (Las Vegas),
3B Luca Biacchi (Los Angeles), and
RFer Ethan Mullens (Los Angeles) each did the same in the National League.
Elmar Pirov, of the Dallas Chaparrals took home his first ever Kingston Cashmore award at the tender age of 35, while Vegas’
CL Bob Tate claimed the hardware over in the National League.
1B Tom Franzone (9x, BOS) took home a Silver Slugger Award in the American League. Meanwhile, in the National League it would be
C Mason Click (3x, LAL), 1B Otto Isaac (9x, LAL), and
DH Oh Hong (2x, LAL) taking home that same honor.
New York’s
1B Spike Tucker took home the Greenhorn of the Year Award in the American League while
CF Adrian Pierce, of the San Diego Skipjacks, did the same in the National League.
Your Victor Pacheco Award winners were Colorado
SP Elias Belanger, a unanimous pick, and Austin’s

And, finally, your Boyce Rigg recipients are Boston’s
Tom Franzone (.347/36/106) and Los Angeles’

Sanuel Preston for the award.
