he leagues have announced their Players of the Week, recognizing two veteran sluggers who delivered big-time production at the plate.

In the United League, Rafael Palmeiro of Los Angeles earned Player of the Week honors after a powerful showing across six games. At age 32, the first baseman hit .318, collecting 7 hits in 22 at-bats, while launching 5 home runs and driving in 10 runs.
On the season, Palmeiro is batting .275 with 13 home runs, 23 RBIs, and 26 runs scored, continuing to anchor the Los Angeles lineup.

Over in the Federal League, John Elway of Milwaukee captured the majority of the vote for Player of the Week following an outstanding offensive stretch. The 36-year-old right fielder posted a .409 batting average, going 9-for-22 with 4 home runs and 6 RBIs.

For the year, Elway is hitting .252 with 14 home runs, 26 RBIs, and 26 runs scored, proving that experience still packs plenty of punch.

Two leagues, two veteran performances — and two reminders that production doesn’t fade with time.
