As the late summer sports season rolls around, Major League Baseball begins to take center stage for the All-Star Game, Hall of Fame Weekend, Trade Deadline, and the Pennant Race. And rookie players emerging. The Athletics rookie Nick Kurtz became the first rookie in major league baseball to hit a record-tying four home runs in a game against perennial power Houston Astros blowing them out 15-3. Kurtz tore into two additional hits as well, going six for six, scoring six times, with 8 RBI like it was a Little League Game. Maybe this is a turned corner for the Athletics as they try and rebuild, but with rookies like Kurtz it may not be too long. Nick Kurtz is the Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!
