July 10, 1967
The AL breaks for the All Star Game tomorrow in Anaheim, home of the California Angels. The Minnesota Twins are in 1st place in the AL. The Twins have the best offense in the AL led by Bob Allison and Harmon Killebrew. They've also gotten steady pitching by the likes of Jim Kaat and Dean Chance. My 2nd place Detroit Tigers lost their last 3 games at home against the Boston Red Sox heading into the break. Injuries to Al Kaline, Willie Horton and Don Wert have really hampered them as of late. They'll try to regroup when play resumes on July 13th.
The Kansas City Athletics remain the surprise team in the AL this season. Their 47-37 record finds them in 3rd place. They've been getting fine pitching from the likes of Catfish Hunter and Chuck Dobson. Only the Chicago White Sox staff has pitched better than the Athletics. The White Sox offensive woes have held them back from being higher in the standings. Speaking of woes, the New York Yankees continue to struggle mightily both offensively and on the mound. Their -106 Runs/Agnst Differential is the worst in the AL.
