Tuesday, May 1st, 2029: RL Selects Rookie Star of the Month
Alejandro Castaneda was toddling around on his tricycle when some of the guys he's playing against were in their prime, but the 24-year-old first baseman definitely knows how to get to first, second or beyond. Today he was chosen April's Republic League Rookie of the Month for his remarkable month of hitting.
In 26 games Castaneda batted .374 for Ann Arbor, slapping 37 hits in 99 at-bats with 5 home runs, drove in 24 runs and scored 14 times.

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 Sherman enjoy the limelight.
