NL Selects Rookie Star of the Month
Saturday, May 1st, 1937: Tommy Henrich was toddling around on his tricycle when some of the guys he's playing against were in their prime, but the 24-year-old left fielder definitely knows how to get to first, second or beyond. Today he was chosen April's National League Rookie of the Month for his remarkable month of hitting.

In 27 games Henrich batted .317 for Cincinnati, slapping 26 hits in 82 at-bats with 4 home runs, drove in 26 runs and scored 20 times.

During the month he hit .389 with 9 doubles, no triples and 5 home runs. Nicholson also scored 15 times and drove in 19 runs.
