Saturday, September 1st, 2040: Great Month Gets RL Top Rookie Trophy
With August's Republic League Rookie of the Month title slung over his shoulder, Jaime García has no reason to be modest about his statistical output. But he was, telling BNN reporters, "I just put the bat on the ball a lot and a lot of them fell in. It was just my month to shine."

The 23-year-old blistered the baseball last month as he posted a .348 batting average, 24 hits, 9 home runs, 18 RBIs and 18 runs scored.

This season García has 20 home runs and a .283 batting average.

Saturday, September 1st, 2040: Cannon Wins Rookie of the Month
A boyish Joe Cannon emerged as the latest Continental League Rookie of the Month today. The young man from Apex deserved the honor, batting .263 with 7 home runs and 16 runs batted in. Is the month of August a harbinger of things to come or just a fluke? We'll find out someday, but for now, we'll just let Cannon enjoy the limelight.

In 2040 Cannon is hitting .282, batted in 90 runs with 31 home runs and 98 runs scored.
