 | Monday, September 1st, 1969: Texas's Campbell KMLL Star of the Week
27-year-old Dave Campbell sent shock waves through Independence League last week with an eye-popping performance that brought him the Kenesaw Mountain Landis League Player of the Week Award.
A newcomer to the league, Campbell made the establishment sit up and take notice, punishing opposing pitchers with a .481 average, 13 hits in 27 at-bats, 2 home runs and 4 runs batted in.
Where the Texas Rangers second baseman goes from here, only the baseball gods know for sure, but Campbell certainly made his mark last week.
This season Campbell has hit 12 home runs and posted a .275 batting average.
