Batter of the Month
LF James Moore - Baltimore Canaries

Moore earned this honor by hitting .500 with 7 RBIs and 14 runs scored.

Rookie of the Month
RF John Rich - Chicago White Stockings

After hitting just .214 in April, Rich bounced back with an outstanding May. Hitting .406 with 5 RBIs and 9 runs scored earns him the Rookie of the Month award.

Pitcher of the Month
SP Greg Berry - Washington Nationals

Here's a surprise choice for May's Pitcher of the Month. Berry managed to win 3 of 5 decisions, but he only allowed 4 earned runs in 48.1 innings.
