Standings and League Leaders in the AL after all games played thru May 8th. The New York Yankees lead the league in runs scored and have allowed the fewest runs, the reasons' why they hold 1st place. My Detroit Tigers are in 2nd place, just 1 game behind NY. The Tigers defeated the Yankees yesterday in the first meeting between the clubs this season.
Boston's Ted Williams has been crushing the ball and leads the AL in HR (8) and RBI (23). Cleveland's Lou Boudreau leads the league in BA. St. Louis 1st baseman Jack Graham (.342/7/15) has gotten off to a fast start this year and holds a spot in the top 5 of the 3 main League Leaders hitting categories. Detroit's Virgil Trucks leads all AL pitchers in ERA and K's. He's also tied in W's with 4.
