New York's White Top AL Batter in April

Roy White battered AL pitchers all April and wound up taking home the Batter of the Month Award.

"I've been around Major League Baseball long enough to know you really have to work hard day in and day out to be able to put up this kind of consistency," the 26-year-old White told reporters.
