We hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend and enjoyed some time off from baseball. It's hard to believe we are already halfway through the 2021 season. It's been a fun one so far and we're looking forward to things heating up in the second half, including the weather.

With that said, the league would like to recognize two outstanding players from each of the four divisions for having a breakout month during the month of June. There were a number of great candidates again this month that we had the difficult task of narrowing down to two.

Congratulations to the 2021 June "Players of the Month", as voted on by the Boston Men's Baseball League administrators.
