NL Best Batter: Shortstop Honus Wagner (Pittsburgh Pirates), with 2 home runs, 19 RBIs, and 27 runs scored.

NL Rookie of the Month: Starting pitcher Quait Bateman (Chicago Cubs) with a 5-2 record and a 1.89 ERA.
In the AL, barring a massive collapse, the Washington Senators are the likely favorites to take the pennant and go to their first World Series, as they are 16 games ahead of the second-place Cleveland Naps. In the NL, meanwhile, the New York Giants have a 5 and a half-game lead over the Pittsburgh Pirates, so it's still up in the air as to who will win the pennant.
