1967 NL Standings and League Leaders

 June 15, 1967

             It's the middle of June in the 1967 MLB season. The Chicago Cubs are listed as the NL 1st place ballclub, but only by percentage. The Cubs actually trail the Cincinnati Reds by 1/2 a game. This 'listing' shows just how tight the pennant race is in the NL this year. The listed 7th place club, the Houston Astros, are only 4 games back and they are actually tied with the Pittsburgh Pirates and San Francisco Giants. Every team except for the New York Mets are still very much into the race for the pennant. The Cincinnati Reds have had the top offense in the NL and the St. Louis Cardinals, the best pitching. 

   Atlanta's Hank Aaron, bidding for the Triple Crown (.363 BA, 13 HR, 45 RBI), leads the NL in BA, is 3rd in HR and is 3rd in RBI. Philadelphia's Dick Allen is also making a bid for the Triple Crown (.342, 15, 47).  Houston's Jimmy Wynn leads the league in HR (19) and RBI (49). The Pittsburgh Pirates have 3 of the top 5 players for best BA and Roberto Clemente is 4th in RBI (43). St. Louis Cardinal Lou Brock leads the NL in Stolen Bases (27). 

    The Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Larry Jackson (10-2, 1.97 ERA) is among many pitchers having an excellent season. Houston's Mike Cuellar, SF's Juan Marichal, the Red's Gary Nolan, and the Cardinal's Bob Gibson are in that group. Pittsburgh Pirate Roy Face leads the NL in Saves (10).
