Valenzuela Grabs CL Best Batter Award for April
Friday, May 1st, 2161: Free agent-to-be Roberto Valenzuela has inflated his asking price over the past 30 days by winning the Continental League Batter of the Month.

In April, the 30-year-old Napa Valley right fielder hit .311 with 8 home runs and 23 RBIs.

If he keeps putting numbers like that up, he could be hauling in a big wad of cash at this time next year.


Jason Hooper Selected April's Best Batter
Friday, May 1st, 2161: Though his face is weathered and his hands are calloused, Jason Hooper can still get it done in Front Office Offseason League. In fact, the 32-year-old first baseman for Hammersmith was named the Republic League Batter of the Month today after putting up an impressive performance at the plate.

In April he batted .323 with 7 home runs, 22 RBIs and 17 runs scored.

Gothams Espinosa April's #1 Pitcher
Friday, May 1st, 2161: Veteran Javier Espinosa put together quite a successful stretch in April for the Baltimore Gothams, earning himself the Continental League Pitcher of the Month award.

RL Pick for Top Pitcher in April is Scruggs
Friday, May 1st, 2161: It was a very good month for Chris Scruggs in April. The 36-year-old veteran starter for the Hammersmith Hooligans outpitched everybody -- young and old -- to claim the Republic League Pitcher of the Month award earlier today.

Scruggs ran up a 4-0 record in his 5 starts during the month. In 36.1 innings he fanned 12 and recorded a 2.97 ERA.

Continental League Names Rookie of Month
Friday, May 1st, 2161: Youngster Markus Welsh emerged as the latest Continental League Rookie of the Month today. The young man from Napa Valley deserved the honor, batting .321 with 2 home runs and 9 runs batted in. Is the month of April a harbinger of things to come or just a fluke? We'll find out someday, but for now, we'll just let Welsh enjoy the limelight.


RL Selects Rookie Star of the Month
Friday, May 1st, 2161: A veritable toddler to the Republic League, Adam Wolf just sewed up the Rookie of the Month trophy for April.

Over the past month the 24-year-old center fielder for Hammersmith hit .407 with 24 hits, 2 home runs and 13 runs batted in. He also logged 8 walks and compiled a .478 on-base percentage.

Top CL Rookie of the Month Named
Monday, June 1st, 2161: Tim Durham was toddling around on his tricycle when some of the guys he's playing against were in their prime, but the 22-year-old catcher definitely knows how to get to first, second or beyond. Today he was chosen May's Continental League Rookie of the Month for his remarkable month of hitting.

In 24 games Durham batted .351 for Halifax, slapping 34 hits in 97 at-bats with 4 home runs, drove in 19 runs and scored 23 times.

So far this season Durham is batting .277 with 8 home runs.


RL Names Ann Arbor's Homer Top Rookie
Monday, June 1st, 2161: Harvey Homer is still a bit shy, but then, who could blame the newest Republic League Rookie of the Month honoree? He hasn't been around the league long enough to fully know the ropes yet, despite the fact that he's putting up veteran-like numbers.

In May the Ann Arbor hitter tagged opposing pitching for a .320 average with 33 hits, 11 home runs and 27 RBIs.

This season Homer has banged out 55 hits in 203 at-bats for a .271 average with 12 home runs. He is getting on base at a .324 pace and his totals also include 35 RBIs and 29 runs scored.

Technically, none of us have. The only two originals were DC and Alan. Alan's on hiatus, and DC is over in FOOLX but not here (IIRC). I joined in 1965, but even I left the league for a couple years in the 1970s.

[Chief Rum]

Actually, little remembered fact, IIRC--SkyDog was an original member of FOOL. He lasted four seasons, I think.

Newcomer Honored by Republic League
Tuesday, September 1st, 2161: Rick Plummer is still a bit shy, but then, who could blame the newest Republic League Rookie of the Month honoree? He hasn't been around the league long enough to fully know the ropes yet, despite the fact that he's putting up veteran-like numbers.

In August the Hartford hitter tagged opposing pitching for a .360 average with 36 hits, 1 home run and 13 RBIs.

Currently Plummer has 1 home run and a .322 batting average.
