AL Names Orioles Rettenmund Winner
With some great hand-eye coordination and a sweet, compact swing, Baltimore Orioles left fielder Merv Rettenmund took the American League by storm this past week to take the latest Player of the Week honors.
"The ball was looking like a beach ball all week," a happy Rettenmund said to BNN reporters. "When it's that big, it doesn't matter where they throw it -- I can hit it anywhere."
The 27-year-old left fielder hit .556 (15-for-27) last week with 3 home runs, 10 RBIs and 9 runs scored.
This season, Rettenmund has hit 15 home runs and posted a .336 batting average.
