1949 AL News Recap and League Leaders

August 1, 1949

  We've reached the month of August in the 1949 season. Here are the AL league leaders. Boston's Ted Williams has moved into the top spot in the BA category. He's also tops in HR and 2nd in RBI. Looks like he's making a bid for the Triple Crown. The Red Sox Mel Parnell and New York's Vic Raschi lead the league in Wins. Parnell also has the best ERA in the AL.
