| Breaking News |  | Monday, June 19th, 1961: Árias Selected Top Performer in MCL
Vaughan's Eduardo Árias would not be denied the Macdonald League Player of the Week Award for this past week. His consistent stroke, which produced 15 hits in 33 at-bats and a .455 average, made him the clear favorite to win the honor.
"You just go out there and do what you have to do," said Árias, "When I'm up, I try to focus and block everything else out of my mind... and have a good at-bat. I'm up there to get a hit or advance a runner, not to get caught up in the emotion of the moment. I hope I can win this award every week."
He also tallied no home runs, 1 RBIs and 7 runs scored.
Árias is currently hitting at a .308 pace with 1 home run, 15 RBIs and has scored 43 times. |

So far this year Ornelas is batting .333 with 1 home run. |
 | Friday, June 9th, 1961: Park Gets 2-Game Suspension
As a result of his tirade and temper tantrum during yesterday's Millers-Ice Fishers game at Major Mackenzie Stadium, Vaughan catcher Michael Park will get some time off. He was issued a 2-game suspension by the league commissioner. Park was suspended for verbally abusing and physically bumping the home plate umpire after being ejected for arguing over a third strike.
In this current campaign Park is hitting at a .315 clip with 1 home run and 21 RBIs. |
