Sánchez Named 1897 LRB-LF Pelotero de la Frontera Winner Sunday, September 12th , 1897 At the age of 26, Ernesto Sánchez of the Piedras Negras Carboneros could very well have his best years ahead of him. It's a startling thought when you consider the year he had in 1897 was good enough to win the shortstop the Liga Fronteriza Pelotero de la Frontera. "See the ball, hit the ball," he said. "That's my basic approach." The top hitter put up a .331 batting average this year, as well as a .376 on-base percentage. He played 115 games and racked up 144 hits, 34 doubles, 5 triples, 2 home runs, 61 RBIs and 58 runs scored. He received 9 first place votes out of a possible 16. Euríalo Menchaca of the Nuevo Laredo Colibris finished second in voting with 6 first place votes, while Mario Santiago of the Ciudad Juarez Nortenos finished third.
