It's midway thru the month of May in the 1962 AL season. After today's loss to the Minnesota Twins my Detroit Tigers have dropped into a tie for 1st place in the league with the Twins. The 2nd year Washington Senators continue to defy the prognosticators by winning at a high rate and hold 3rd place in the AL. Only the Baltimore Orioles, Kansas City Athletics and Boston Red Sox continue to exhibit major problems and have dropped off the radar in the pursuit of the pennant early in this season. KC has been a dreadful 1-12 so far in May.
Detroit's Rocky Colavtio leads the AL in HR (12) and RBI (33). Chicago's Al Smith leads in BA (.398). Minnesota's Camilo Pascual (6-1, 2.98 ERA, 48K) has been the top pitcher in the AL although supporters of New York's Ralph Terry (6-0, 2.44 ERA) may disagree with that assessment.
