Few players his age are still in the league, but Ferdinand *Puttifoot of the Bywater Bounders clearly loves the game and clearly he can still get the job done. Last week the 38-year-old third baseman hit the ball with the consistency of someone ten years younger, which made *Puttifoot a popular and well-deserved selection as Shire Conference Player of the Week.
He paced the Bounders attack by putting up a .444 batting average, 8 hits in 18 at-bats, 12 RBIs and 5 home runs. *Puttifoot also scored 9 runs.
In 25 games *Puttifoot is hitting .264 this season with 24 hits, 10 home runs, 21 RBIs, 11 walks, .350 OBP and has scored 17 runs.
