Gunter Top of His Class in August
Tuesday, September 1st , 1970
Youngster Chuck Gunter emerged as the latest American Baseball League Rookie of the Month today. The young man from Los Angeles deserved the honor, batting .311 with 5 home runs and 12 runs batted in. Is the month of August a harbinger of things to come or just a fluke? We'll find out someday, but for now, we'll just let Gunter enjoy the limelight.
During the current season Gunter is batting at a .317 clip with 24 home runs and 68 RBIs. He has played in 122 games and scored 67 times.
