1962 AL Standings

May 22, 1962

  The Boston Red Sox have been on a roll, winning their last 8 in a row. The problem is the Red Sox got off to such a bad start this season that they're only 15-20 now.  The Minnesota Twins continue their winning ways and are in 1st place by 4.5 games over the Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Indians. My Tigers hit a rough spot going 2-8 their last 10 games. The New York Yankees have been in a funk themselves, equaling Detroit's 2-8 stretch. The surprising Washington Senators have finally faltered a bit, dropping into 4th place after going 4-6 lately.
