Sportsman of the Week Ending 6/1/2014

When the name of Mickey Mantle is bantered about in terms of hitting performance, you're talking about a serious stretch of baseball.  And the Toronto Blue Jays are playing that good of baseball of late, surging to the American League East lead by 4 games.  Led by slugger 1B/DH Edwin Encarnacion, who went off this week for 10-24, with five HR and 10 RBI. In a week.  The Jays went 5-2.  For the month of May, Encarnacion hit 16 bombs, tying Mantle for the homers in May.  Certainly worthy of Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!
