1967 AL Standings and League Leaders

 May 15, 1967

    We're in the middle of May in the 1967 AL MLB season. My Detroit Tigers are in 1st place, getting a nice balance of very good hitting and good pitching. 9 of the 10 teams in the AL are within 8 games of each other. Only the New York Yankees have gotten off to a very bad start this year. 

  The Tiger's AL Kaline leads the AL in hitting (.420 BA) and RBI (23). Boston's Tony Conigliaro and Washington's Frank Howard lead in HR with 7. California's George Brunet is 6-1 with a 1.81 ERA. But it's the Chicago White Sox pitching staff that has been the talk of baseball. The White Sox are tied for 2nd in the AL and it can be attributed to the excellent pitching they've had so far, the team ERA is 2.24:

If the White Sox can get at least 'average' hitting, they'll remain a top contender.
