| Breaking News |  | Monday, June 16th, 1958: US's #1 Player, MacGregor of Moon Township
No single hit brought Elias MacGregor Player of the Week honors -- the Moon Township Hillbillies third baseman corralled the award with a consistent approach in every at-bat.
"Hitting is all about discipline," said MacGregor. "When you lose focus, start to lunge at the ball and swing too agressively... swinging at a lot of bad pitches... that's when your average starts to drop and you wind up fighting for playing time. You're most successful when you concentrate on the ball and make 'em throw strikes."
Concentrate he did. MacGregor stroked 13 hits in 28 at-bats while cranking out no home runs, 9 RBIs and 4 runs scored.
In 1958 MacGregor has put up a .341 batting average with 72 hits, 3 home runs and 34 RBIs.

 | Sunday, June 1st, 1958: Upstream #1 Hurler is Juanola
Montego Juanola hasn't been around the big leagues long enough to know that youngsters shouldn't be winning Upstream Pitcher of the Month. But when you put up numbers like his, you're going to get some notice.
In May the Moon Township starter earned a 6-3 mark in 9 starts. He threw 76.1 innings, struck out 86 and compiled a solid 1.41 ERA.
Juanola has started 13 times this year, pitched 112.2 innings, fanned 136 batters and walked 21. His current record is 9 wins and 4 losses with a 1.68 ERA.

 | Wednesday, May 28th, 1958: Moon Township's Colón Shuts Out Spartans
Alfredo Colón had the Steubenville Spartans dancing to his tune today with a sparkling 4-0 shutout performance for the Moon Township Hillbillies. He gave up 3 hits and collected 3 walks and 10 strikeouts.
Steubenville hitters were bewildered throughout the game by his delivery.
The opposing manager said, "When you face a guy who hides the ball like he does, it takes a couple of at-bats to try to find his release point. We just never figured him out."
So far this year Colón has a 7-1 record with a 2.63 ERA.
