Fritz Maisel Named NL Rookie of Month
Sunday, June 1st, 1913: Fritz Maisel is still a bit shy, but then, who could blame the newest National 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 Cincinnati hitter tagged opposing pitching for a .306 average with 38 hits, 1 home run and 13 RBIs.
To date, Maisel has collected 79 hits for a .326 average. He has posted 1 home run, scored 51 runs and driven in 23 runs.
