September 1, 1967
We enter the month of September with an exciting pennant race going on in the AL. My Detroit Tigers went 20-15 in August and still sit in 1st place in the league. But the hottest team in the league, the 2nd place Boston Red Sox, have won 7 in a row lately while going a league best 22-13 in the month. The Red Sox are only 1 GB Detroit. The Kansas City Athletics are in 3rd (4 GB) and the Minnesota Twins (4.5 GB) are in 4th place.
Boston's Carl Yastrzemski is still making a bid for the Triple Crown. He leads the AL in HR (43) and RBI (108). Detroit's Al Kaline (.359) has been flip-flopping with Yastrzemski (.352) for the top BA. Minnesota's Harmon Killebrew has been putting up good power numbers and is 2nd in HR and RBI.
Boston's Jim Lonborg has the most Wins (18) in the AL as well as most K's (214), while KC's Chuck Dobson the best ERA (2.09).
