He Good

Top 5 Georgia athlete ever, Gordon Beckham, was named the American League Rookie of the Month for July. Beckham has settled into the 2 hole for the contending White Sox and some are considering him a front runner for rookie of the year.
He will surely hit a skid at some point but I don't think anyone thought this much success would come this soon. He is currently one of two players from the 2007 draft in the majors.

The combination of Beckham, Ken "Hawk" Harrelson, and the Braves not making the playoffs again make the White Sox my new favorite team.

Didn't he start out like 1 for 50? I wonder what he's hitting since his initial slump. And maybe coming up as late as he did will keep him from hitting the typical rookie skid.

White Sox are my new team, too. YES! YES!

-Harrelson hates BC.
-The Cubs are way cooler.

I really don't have any issues with Beckham. He seems like a swell guy. But he probably won't be as good as Nomaaaaaaar.

Since June 26, someone on Baseball Tonight last night said that Beckham was leading the AL with a .376 batting average. That is damn good.

Carrel_Fan, you misquoted me. The Cubs are WAY cooler.
