Jetson Journal Entry — Orbit Date: 2001, Sector W, Game Grid 36
“Great Galaxy! Montez Wins Rookie of the Year!”
By George Jetson
Wowsers! Stop the spacecar and hold the Elroy fries — we've got ourselves a stellar rookie over in the Western Conference!
That’s right, folks, Melvin Montez of the Dallas Stars is this year’s 2001 Rookie of the Year, and boy oh boy, did he rocket to the top like a hyperspeed Jetpack XL-7!
Let me lay it out for you in pure Astro-approved stats:
Games played: 110
Batting average: .282
Hits: 116
Home runs: 28
RBIs: 74
Runs scored: 89
“Jane! Stop this incredible third baseman!”
He zoomed ahead with 34 first place votes out of a possible 36 — practically a clean sweep across the galaxy. That’s no fluke, that's talent you can see from orbit.
Let’s look at the vote-o-meter:
Player Team First Place Votes Total Points
Melvin Montez Dallas Stars 34 176
Carlos Molina Los Angeles Kings 0 76
Ivan Rocha Kansas City Scouts 2 53
Victor Lopez Seattle Kraken 0 17
Ron Edwards Kansas City Scouts 0 1
Alec Scheele Vancouver Canucks 0 1
I’ve seen a lot of rookies come and go faster than Rosie on floor polish, but Montez? He’s got the stuff to be a star in this solar system for light-years to come.
And remember folks: in space, no one can hear the crack of the bat... unless you’re Melvin Montez — because he makes the galaxy listen.
Now if only I could hit like that in the Spacely Softball League…
