1949 AL Standings

June 15, 1949

  It's the middle of June and my Detroit Tigers are playing a bit below their actual in 1949. The Tigers starting pitchers led by Hal Newhouser (10-3, 2.80) have been outstanding. The big problem with this team is their bullpen. It stinks. Only Dizzy Trout (1-1, 3.04, 2 saves) has been reliable.
 As expected, New York, Boston and Cleveland are the top teams in the AL. The surprise team has been the St. Louis Browns. While the Browns are only in 5th place, they have been playing well above their actual '49 performance.
