September 10, 1967
My Detroit Tigers are still in 1st place and now have a 5 game lead over the 2nd place Boston Red Sox. The Kansas City Athletics are still in the mix as are the Minnesota Twins. KC is a whopping 20 games better than their actual 1967 record. Detroit has had to make up some games canceled by weather earlier in the season and have gone 9-3 this month. The Tigers also have a very impressive Runs For/Runs Against ratio of +145.
Boston's Carl Yastrzemski has finally nudged past the Tiger's Al Kaline for the league lead in hitting, putting him on course to win the Triple Crown. Minnesota's Harmon Killebrew and Bob Allison along with Washington's Frank Howard are putting up good power numbers. The Red Sox Jim Lonborg leads the AL in Wins and K's.
