Western League
Batter of the Month | Pitcher of the Month
Rookie of the Month
Carl Yastrzemski received the Western League Batter of the Month trophy earlier today for his efforts at the plate this last month.
"He might be getting older," San Francisco's manager told reporters, "But he's been around long enough to know what it takes to put a stretch such as this together... and he doesn't keep that to himself. He's always talking to the younger guys in the clubhouse helping 'em any way they'll let him. Carl's value to our team goes farther than the numbers he puts up on the field."
To win the honor Yastrzemski put up a .358 batting average, 5 home runs, 23 RBIs and scored 22 times in September.
Yastrzemski's current batting average stands at .287 and he has chalked up 20 home runs and 87 RBIs.

Nolan Ryan's been around the league long enough to appreciate the honor he received today. After going 5-0 in September, the 25-year-old Portland hurler has been named Western League Pitcher of the Month.
He fanned 56 in 50 innings, logged an ERA of 1.98 and allowed opponents to hit .188 against him.
For the year, Ryan has compiled a 15-15 record with a 4.01 ERA.

Steve Busby dropped the hammer on opposing batters by ringing up 2 wins and 2 losses last month and garnered September's Western League Rookie of the Month honors in the process.
The Seattle pitcher made 6 starts, threw 43.2 innings and rang up 34 strikeouts. He finished the month with a 1.85 ERA.
Busby has made 30 starts so far this year and put up a 14-9 won-lost record with a 3.28 ERA. In 219.1 innings he has allowed 207 hits, walked 79 and struck out 161.
