Howard AL Player of Month for June


Frank Howard is the American League June Player of the Month. The imposing 6'8" left fielder for the Washington Senators batted .319, smacked 10 homers, and drove in 23 runs for the month over 28 games, all of which translated to a 1.135 OPS.
For the season, "Hondo" is hitting at a .316 clip and leads the league with 30 dingers, 71 RBI, and 67 runs scored as a one man wrecking crew for the also-ran Senators.
The "Tower of Power" did not rest on his laurels, starting July with 3 homers against the Red Sox to bring his MLB leading homer total to 33--before the All Star Break.
