Kazmarek Wins Again, 6th Batting Title
The end of the baseball season brings with it a bevy of awards. The first ones to be announced were the Ruthlandian and Tycobbian Unions' batting championships. It doesn't make any difference in which league Jet Kazmarek plays, he almost always outhits everybody. It was the 32-year-old Kazmarek's sixth batting title in seven years. This year he switched leagues and still took home the trophy. Kazmarek was signed as a free agent by Arroyo Grande of the Tycobbian Union after playing six seasons with the Valmara Vipers of the Ruthlandian Union.

Kazmarek, who stands only 5' 6", is dynamite with the bat. For the year, the Suns left fielder posted a .349 batting average. His 199 base hits included 24 doubles, 14 triples, and 15 home runs. Additionally, Kazmarek scored 103 times and knocked in 97 runs in 148 games. The speedster also stole 60 bases this season. In his outstanding career Kazmarek sports a .362 batting average, by far the best in the Islandian Pro Alliance. He batted .428 in 2002 to set a league record, which will not likely be broken anytime soon. Kazmarek also hold the league mark with 102 stolen bases in 2003.

Marston Star Farris Cops RU Batting Crown
The leading hitter in the Ruthlandian Union this season was Marston first baseman Pat Farris, who chalked up a .362 batting average. Among his 205 hits were 35 doubles, 4 triples and 12 home runs. Farris also chipped in 52 RBIs and scored 77 times in a standout year. The 25-year-old Farris has averaged .322 in his 5 seasons with the Marston Nine. This was his first batting title.
