Monday, August 1st, 2039: Garza Wins RL Rookie Award
Almost everyone agreed -- fans, teammates, peers -- and BNN sportwriters, too -- that Pepillo Garza was worthy of the Republic League Rookie of the Month award.

In the month of July the Ann Arbor right fielder was a bigtime threat. The 22-year-old Ann Arbor right fielder played in 23 games and hit .337 with 4 doubles, no triples and 4 home runs. Garza also scored 19 times and drove in 15 runs.

Garza is batting .284 with 23 home runs and 66 RBIs this season.

Monday, August 1st, 2039: July's Best Rookie Honored by CL
José Santos is still a bit shy, but then, who could blame the newest Continental 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 July the Newark hitter tagged opposing pitching for a .337 average with 32 hits, 1 home run and 7 RBIs.

This season in 99 games Santos is batting .262 with 4 home runs, 25 RBIs and has scored 59 times.
