Sunday, June 1st, 2031: RL Picks Rookie of the Month
Danjuro Ikeda was toddling around on his tricycle when some of the guys he's playing against were in their prime, but the 25-year-old first baseman definitely knows how to get to first, second or beyond. Today he was chosen May's Republic League Rookie of the Month for his remarkable month of hitting.

In 21 games Ikeda batted .321 for New York, slapping 25 hits in 78 at-bats with 4 home runs, drove in 14 runs and scored 10 times.

This season Ikeda is swinging the bat at a .305 rate with 47 hits in 154 at-bats. To date he has hit 5 home runs, scored 18 runs and driven in 19.



Sunday, June 1st, 2031: Rookie Reels In Continental League Award
A boyish Dave Juteau emerged as the latest Continental League Rookie of the Month today. The young man from Tokyo deserved the honor, batting .375 with 8 home runs and 32 RBI. Is the month of May a harbinger of things to come or just a fluke? We'll find out someday, but for now, we'll just let Juteau enjoy the limelight.

This year Juteau has collected a .345 batting average to date with 76 hits in 220 at-bats, 44 RBIs, 15 home runs and scored 37 times. He has played in 57 games.
