Monday, August 20th, 1906: NL Star of the Week Honored A battle-tested Fred Tenney declared war on opposing pitchers last week, attacking the ball like the well-schooled veteran he is. Today the 34-year-old Boston first baseman collected the National League Player of the Week Award. He wrapped up the week with a .500 average, 9 hits in 18 at-bats, 1 home run, 4 RBIs and 9 runs scored. Thus far this year Tenney is hitting .282 with 1 home run, 41 RBIs and 70 runs scored.

Monday, August 20th, 1906: Week's Top Player: New York's Delahanty 23-year-old Frank Delahanty sent shock waves through Major League Baseball last week with an eye-popping performance that brought him the American League Player of the Week Award. A newcomer to the league, Delahanty made the establishment sit up and take notice, punishing opposing pitchers with a .458 average, 11 hits in 24 at-bats, no home runs and 5 runs batted in. Where the New York Highlanders left fielder goes from here, only the baseball gods know for sure, but Delahanty certainly made his mark last week.
