The League office issued the first full status update at the end of April.  Future reports are expected to feature individual team information.

What was not mentioned in the report was a general feeling around the League that the hitters had all shed some collective funk in the last week of April that had plagued the League for the first three weeks of play.  Some had blamed the weather, some blamed bad luck, still others spoke in hushed tones of things that happened in the Commissioner's office very late at night, involving either bourbon, that secretary of his, or both.  Some said some odd thing about small sample size, but most looked on them as oddballs.

Moe Berg said nothing, and played only slightly more.
