RL Selects Mercado May's Best Pitcher
Tuesday, June 1st, 2077: Upon hearing the news that he had won the Republic League Pitcher of the Month honors for May's work,

"That's just the kind of guy he is, and that's what makes him so good out there," his manager told reporters. "The guy has ice water in his veins. Nothing short of a League Championship could get this guy excited and I'm not so sure that'd do it either."
