Cleveland went 17-11 in May to maintain a lead in the AL. Detroit went just 13-15 and slipped to second. The White Sox went 16-12 this month, thanks largely to the return of Dex Wolfe, who went 4-0 with a 1.75 ERA in 4 May starts.

St. Louis struggled at 14-13 in May, but kept their lead over the NL. No other team quite took advantage of it, except the Cubs who went 16-11 to pull into 2nd Place. Meanwhile, the highly touted Giants went just 15-13 this month, but, along with Brooklyn, are just 4 games back

Batters of the Month:

AL - Owyn Cuffie, CF, Boston Red Sox - He hit .379 with 24 RBI and 15 runs scored. At age 39, I believe he is the oldest player to be named BOTM.

NL - Terrey "Spikes" Christiansen, 3B, St. Louis Cardinals - He hit .351 with 33 RBI, 15 runs scored and 2 home runs.

Pitchers of the Month:

AL - Rob Greenwald, Cleveland Indians - He was 5-2 with a 1.54 ERA and 1 shutout.

NL - Michael McAinsh, New York Giants - He was 7-0 with a 4.29 ERA.

Ancestors:

Whiskey Allen, C, Cleveland - Whiskey hit .268 with 11 RBI and 9 runs scored.

Heinrich "The German" Kahle, 1B, Cincinnati - Kahle hit .220 with 16 RBI and 10 runs scored.

Dummy Netsky, SP, Washington - Dummy went 0-3 with a 4.97 ERA in 4 games (3 starts).

Campbell Ditty, CF, New York (N) - Ditty hit .352 with 14 RBI, 23 runs scored and 5 home runs! I feel pretty confident that hitting 5 homers in one month is a major league record. He easily leads the NL with 7.

Harry "The Haymaker" Cohan, C, Chicago (N) - Harry hit .358 with 7 RBI and 9 runs scored.

Fists Ubert, SP, St. Louis (N) - Ubert went 3-3 with a 4.11 in 6 starts.

John "Pops" Falise, RF, Philadelphia (N) - Pops hit .264 with 15 RBI and 13 runs scored.

Jean-Francois "Flaky" Arsenault, SS, Chicago (A) - Flaky should return to the lineup on June 1st, 2 weeks earlier than expected.

Genaro "Tito" Nunez, 2B, Boston (A) - Tito hit .396 with 10 RBI, 21 runs scored and another 9 stolen bases.

"Nasty Ned" Fargo, SP, St. Louis (A) - Ned went 2-3 with a 3.22 ERA in 7 starts. Unfortunately, he suffered a talent hit - his talent in avoiding hits and homers both dropped. Luckily for him, the talent for avoiding homers is of little consequence in this current era. There have been a number of great pitchers so far in the league with a weakness for allowing homers.

Will Miller, LF, Washington - Will fractured his ankle on May 4th and missed 3 weeks this month. In just 11 games, he hit .293 with 6 RBI and 7 runs scored.

Thomas Strasser, 1B, Cleveland - Thomas hit .243 with 7 RBI and 9 runs scored. He was perfect in 9 stolen base attempts.

Chuck "Pudge" Harris, C, St. Louis (N) - Pudge is still in AAA.

Ahrend "Professor" Nagel, SP, Philadelphia (A) - Nagel went 2-4 with a 3.63 ERA over 7 starts.
