Saturday, August 1st, 2212
With July's Republic League Rookie of the Month title slung over his shoulder,
Thurman Hansen 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 22-year-old blistered the baseball last month as he posted a .291 batting average, 16 hits, 5 home runs, 13 RBIs and 11 runs scored.
So far this season
Hansen is batting .260 with 15 home runs.
