ABL's Best Player Named
Monday, July 26th , 1976
Not every ball that came off Chuck Bowers's bat last week was a line drive or a towering shot -- it just seemed that way to the teams that played the Boston Terriers. For his exploits, Bowers was named this week's American Baseball League Player of the Week award.

The Boston shortstop put up 7 hits in 19 at-bats and 4 home runs while hitting .368 with 8 RBIs and 6 runs scored.

Bowers is hitting .244 in 1976 with 29 RBIs and 10 home runs.
