Cleveland's Young earns Batter of the Month award
The Batter of the Month award in the American League 
goes to Cleveland's <a href=p1398.html>Michael Young</a> 
this time, as the first baseman displayed the best 
offensive perfomance in his league. Michael went 35 
for 99 (.354), while hitting 9 HR and collecting 27 
RBI. Florida's first baseman <a href=p998.html>Luis 
Ramirez</a> had some reason to celebrate as well, as 
the league named him the National League Batter of 
the Month. In 96 at bats he hit .375 with 13 HR and 
31 RBI.
