Somers Wins ABL Best Player Award
Monday, April 18th , 1977
Los Angeles fans have something to crow about today as Los Angeles first baseman Ron Somers nabbed the American Baseball League Player of the Week Award for his performance over the last seven days.

"I know there are times when it's hard to lay off pitches. Everyone goes through stretches when he's too eager to put the ball in play. You know, though, I feel like this past week I was able to get in the right frame of mind and just let things come naturally," said Somers.

He posted a .889 average (8-for-9) this past week with 1 home run, 5 RBIs, and 1 run scored.
