The BLB Times - June '91 Review

BLB - June '91

The sixth month of 1991 in the BLB can be summed up by Charles Dickens's opening line in his masterpiece A Tale of Two Cities..."it was the best of times, it was the worst of times." For the Virginia Colonials it was the first, for the Morgantown Mohawks it was the later.

The Colonials had the hottest month in the history of the BLB when they went 24-3, including winning the last 16 in a row to close out the month. Mel Woodbury and his band of merry men have not tasted defeat since June 11, a 6-9 loss to Denver, and at this rate might never lose again. Morgantown, 5-22 for the month, unfortunately had more red on June's calender than a USA map after a Ronald Reagan election night. Not to worry though Mohawkians, with the top minor league system in the league good times lie ahead.

Award Winners

Woodbury Top Hitter in IL in June

Seasoned by several years of professional experience, 34-year-old Mel Woodbury put together a solid offensive month for Virginia and was crowned June's top batter in the Import League. He batted .398 with 11 home runs, 28 RBIs and 33 runs scored.

June's Best DL Hitter is Carmem Chamissa

Not known for his offensive prowess, Carmem Chamissa set the league afire in June and took home the Domestic League Batter of the Month award. The Pawtucket first baseman posted a steady .391 batting average, 8 home runs, 25 RBIs and 20 runs.

IL Selects Morgan June's Best Pitcher

In June, Jerry Morgan tore through the Import League like a seasoned veteran -- quite impressive for a player only 24 years old. The young Virginia starter posted a 5-0 mark and an ERA of 1.70 to earn the Pitcher of the Month award. In 37 innings he collected 38 strikeouts while limiting the opposition to a .205 average.

Carrillo Earns June's Best Pitcher Honor

Veteran Ral Carrillo put together quite a successful stretch in June for the Pittsburgh Millers, earning himself the Domestic League Pitcher of the Month award. Carrillo racked up a 5-0 record in 5 starts, posting a 1.91 ERA over 37.2 innings and striking out 42.

DL Selects Rookie Star of the Month

Adrin Prez is still a bit shy, but then, who could blame the newest Domestic 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 June the Hyundai hitter tagged opposing pitching for a .359 average with 37 hits, 6 home runs and 22 RBIs.

Import League Names Rookie of Month

Helespntico Jarava was toddling around on his tricycle when some of the guys he's playing against were in their prime, but the 24-year-old second baseman definitely knows how to get to first, second or beyond. Today he was chosen June's Import League Rookie of the Month for his remarkable month of hitting. In 18 games Jarava batted .341 for Batavia, slapping 29 hits in 85 at-bats with no home runs, drove in 7 runs and scored 14 times.

* - BLB debut 6/11

[Jistic]

Is this the first one of these you did? I like it!

[Matt]

The BLB Times debut.

It's mostly cut and paste...like The Doppler. Just a smorgasbord of info put together in one spot. Ideas and suggestions welcome.

[Spear]

Thanks for providing this, nice quick overview of the last month.

I like how Hans Gordinho was * worthy (the good kind!). Has any other BLB rookie ever gone straight to the pros from the draft?

[Matt]

No. This year we have a 1st and 2nd round player (Yoshida) in the BLB.

Nobody from '90 yet, four from '89.

[Spear]

No. This year we have a 1st and 2nd round player (Yoshida) in the BLB.

Nobody from '90 yet, four from '89.

This is OOTP 11's doing?

I think I missed the discussion regarding the new draft classes and our feeder leagues.

[Matt]

Yes...11 will have more major league ready players. There are several more which could be playing...the #1 overall for example.
