1949 AL Standings and League Leaders

September 20, 1949

  The New York Yankees are in 1st place at the close of games played today. Boston is in 2nd, 2 games behind New York. The Cleveland Indians are still in the race, but time is running out for them. My Detroit Tigers are under performing and still entrenched in 4th place.
 Boston's Ted Williams still leads everyone in the 3 categories for the Triple Crown. The Yankee's Vic Raschi (23 Wins) and the Red Sox' Mel Parnell (22 Wins) have been the top starters in the AL.
While my Tigers have been a bit disappointing, there are a few players having a good season. Hal Newhouser is 3rd in the league with 21 Wins and 4th in K's. Fred Hutchinson has the best ERA (2.44) in the AL, and Virgil Trucks is 2nd in K's. George Kell is 4th in BA (.338).
