Lester Pounds NBL Pitchers This Week Monday, June 28th , 1976 New York fans have something to crow about today as New York shortstop Dave Lester nabbed the National Baseball League Player of the Week Award for his performance over the last seven days. "I know there are times when it's hard to lay off pitches. Everyone goes through stretches when he's too eager to put the ball in play. You know, though, I feel like this past week I was able to get in the right frame of mind and just let things come naturally," said Lester. He posted a .409 average (9-for-22) this past week with 4 home runs, 11 RBIs, and 8 runs scored. Lester is currently batting .288 with 11 home runs, 37 runs scored and 41 RBIs. His OBP is .349. |
