| Breaking News |  | Monday, August 13th, 2029: Best Player Award Caps Great Week
What's in a number? In baseball, just about everything.
The numbers that Houston's Mike Trout stacked up last week were the envy of the league, as Trout came away with National Player of the Week honors.
He belted out 12 hits in 21 at-bats, 3 home runs and 9 RBIs last week as he posted his .571 batting average.
This year Trout is hitting at a .463 pace with 12 home runs and 50 RBIs. He has played in 43 games and scored 58 times. |
 | Monday, August 13th, 2029: AL's #1 Player, Long of St. Louis
He was a hard-hitting machine all week long. That's why Ray Long of the St. Louis Cardinals was named the American Player of the Week.
For the week the 30-year-old third baseman batted .560 (14-25) with 2 home runs, 6 runs and 11 RBIs.
For 2029 Long is batting .300 with 23 home runs, 98 RBIs and 73 runs scored. |
 | Sunday, August 12th, 2029: Starting Pitcher George Saunders Out
Pittsburgh fans will be disappointed to learn that George Saunders developed a strained tricep muscle while throwing a pitch in today's game. After the doctor informed the Pittsburgh Pirates manager that Saunders was expected to miss 3 weeks, the manager told the press that the rest of the team would have to step up their play until the starting pitcher could return. "You can't make excuses in baseball, because there's always a game tomorrow," said the team's skipper.
So far this year Saunders has made 24 starts, tossed 125.2 innings, struck out 102 batters and walked 64. His record is 5-10 with a 6.88 ERA and he has limited opposing teams to a .313 batting average. |
