September Batters of the Month:

AL - "Bull" Zegri, LF, Philadelphia Phillies - He hit .412 with 23 RBI, 14 runs scored and 6 home runs.

NL - Dave "Red Fox" Arkless, CF, Chicago Cubs - He hit .376 with 18 RBI, 18 runs scored and 2 home runs.

September Pitchers of the Month:

AL - Josh "The Locomotive" Meade, Cleveland Indians - He went 3-1 with a 1.50 ERA.

NL - Cass Allen, Cincinnati Reds - He went 4-1 with a 1.02 ERA and a shutout.

Ancestors:

Campbell Ditty, CF, New York (N), Age 39 - Ditty hit just .247 in 162 AB this season. This looks like the end of the line for him, but who knows, he did hit .350 in 6 September games.

Harry "The Haymaker" Cohan, C, Chicago (N), Age 40 - Harry hit .375 in September and .312 for the season. At age 40 (and still the starting catcher), this was a much better way for him to go out. However, if the Cubs want him, he might just have enough for one more go-around.

Fists Ubert, SP, St. Louis (N), Age 36 - The torn rotator cuff muscle was an unfortunate ending for Ubert's great career.

John "Pops" Falise, RF, Philadelphia (N), Age 35 - Pops is aging gracefully. He led the NL in HR and RBI while hitting .320. He hit just .208 in the World Series, but he claimed a second championship for his resume. He is now 3rd all-time in HR's, and at this pace, he could become #1 after two more seasons.

Jean-Francois "Flaky" Arsenault, SS, Chicago (A), Age 35 - Flaky hit .329, but had an OPS under .800 for just the 5th time in his career. However, he did become the 5th player to record 3000 hits, and he is already in 3rd place, just 157 hits behind Whiskey Allen's all-time mark.

Genaro "Tito" Nunez, 2B, Boston (A), Age 34 - Despite missing a lot of time this year, Tito still scored 100 runs. He hit .371 and needs just 140 hits to crack 3000.

"Nasty Ned" Fargo, SP, St. Louis (A), Age 32 - It was amazing how much a solid team helped Ned's W-L record. He set a personal and franchise high with 28 wins and led the majors in that category.

Will Miller, LF, Washington, Age 32 - Will's .378 average was 3rd in the AL, and he also scored 100 runs. He is 19th on the all-time hits list and his .367 career average is currently the best of all-time. His 41 SB put him 5th on that all-time list.

Thomas Strasser, CF, Detroit, Age 33 - Strasser hit over .300 with 10 HR and 97 runs scored, but he drove in a measley 51 RBI.

Chuck "Pudge" Harris, C, St. Louis (N), Age 31 - Pudge has hit over .300 with 60+ RBI for 5 straight seasons now.

Ahrend "Professor" Nagel, SP, Philadelphia (A), Age 30 - Nagel failed to win 20 games and had his highest ERA since 1922. He had double-digit losses for the first time in 3 seasons.

Horst "Harry" Nagel, C, Boston (N), Age 28 - A broken wrist washed out his season after just 32 games.

Donald "Duckie" Andrew, 2B, Cleveland, Age 28 - A broken wrist forced him to miss the last 2 months of the season. Before that, he was among the AL's SB leaders.

Ben "Rabbi" Baum, CF, Philadelphia (A), Age 27 - Ben was having another exceptional season before breaking his knee in August. His talent in hitting for average dropped because of it.

Bourbon Allen, SP, Boston (N), Age 27 - While his record was just 16-17, he had a sub-3.00 ERA for a second straight year, which is a noteworthy accomplishment in this day of increasing offense.

Whiskey Allen, Jr., SP, Boston (N), Age 26 - Despite a wealth of talent, Junior's career record is just 87-152 with a 4.81 ERA. Are his days in Boston numbered?

Sam Kass, CF, Pittsburgh, Age 25 - Sam had the best batting average of his career and also slammed 14 HR.

August "Fat Gus" Kahle, 3B, New York (A), Age 23 - Gus won his first AL batting title by mere percentage points. He hit .333 in the World Series.

Salvatore "The Sicilian Saucer" Rossi, CF, Pittsburgh, Age 24 - A slow start caused Sal to come up short of 100 RBI. He also hit just .301. He won the 3rd Gold Glove of his career.

Levi "Tyke" Walls, SS, Pittsburgh, Age 29 - Tyke had the lowest average of his career, but he did score 100 runs.

Kid Fite, 2B, Detroit, Age 23 - Kid finished 2nd in the AL batting race by 4 ten-thousandths of a point (.3909 to .3905). He did however lead the AL with 122 runs scored.

Harry Finley, C, New York (A), Age 22 - In his first full season as a starter, Finley finished 2nd in the AL with 49 SB and he won the first Gold Glove of his career. However, he hit just .174 in a World Series loss.

David "Pops" McAuliffe, 3B, Chicago (N), Age 21 - McAuliffe set a career highs in batting average and runs scored, and he tied his career best with 7 HR.

George Ward, RF, Boston (N), Age 22 - In two full seasons, he has now won two batting titles. He also won his first Gold Glove.

Otto "Kaiser" Kahle, SP, Cleveland, Age 21 - Otto won 15 games and posted the best ERA of his career. He had 9 complete games and threw his first 2 shutouts.

David Wickersham, SP, Chicago (N), Age 20 - David had a remarkable season for such a young pitcher. He won 18 games and had the 2nd best ERA in the NL.

Lloyd Johnson, 1B, New York (N), Age 19 - Lloyd is still the Giants' #1 batter off the bench, getting over 300 AB for the second straight season.

Alan Liao, 3B, Cincinnati, Age 20 - Liao became the full-time 3B in August. He hit .282 on the season.

Woodrow "Woody" Woodworth, 2B, St. Louis (A), Age 20 - Woody hit .298 in 121 AB. It will be a tough challenge to unseat "Smally" Becker as the team's starting 2B, but he has a very good chance of becoming a starter at 3B or SS next season.

Adolf "The Human Torch" Greisbach, SS, Detroit, Age 20 - Adolf hit .333 in 171 AB. Kid Fite is entrenched at 2B, but Adolf has a great shot at becoming the starting SS next season.

Carmack "Country" Alford, LF, Cincinnati, Age 19 - Carmack hit .356 in 261 AB. He may have another year on the bench ahead of him, but it's only a matter of time before he becomes a starter at some position.

Carl "Dutch" Kahle, 3B, Washington, Age 19 - Dutch hit .266 in 177 AB's and should give Theodore Queener a serious run for the starting 3B job next spring.

Foglesong "Fuzz" Allen, LF, Cincinnati, Age 18 - Fuzz got better throughout the season once he became a regular and wound up hitting .296 with 33 SB.

John "Bucky" Smith, SP, Chicago (N), Age 18 - His record was just 6-13, but he got better as the season wore on and should form quite a tandem with Wickersham atop this rotation for many years.

Leonard "Sunny" Davie, C, Chicago (A), Age 18 - Sunny hit .234 in his debut and should continue to fight for playing time next season.

Swervin' Ervin Skjerly, CF, New York (A), Age 18 - Ervin won a starting job in August and hit .324 on the season. He also hit .333 in the World Series.

Ricardo "Tiny" Bowden, SS, Boston (A), Age 18 - Tiny hit just .173 this season, but he has the inside track on the starting job next spring.

Keith "Dead-Eye" Laverick, 1B, St. Louis (N), Age 18 - Keith won a starting 1B job and later lost it. He hit .260 overall this season. He will once again challenge Horace Tibbs for a starting job next spring.
