The calendar has turned to the month of June in the 1962 season. The Minnesota Twins have a firm grip on 1st place in the AL. While they are a very good team they've been overperforming in my replay. They are the top hitting and pitching team in the league. After going 14-4 in April the Twins were a league best 19-11 in May too. My 2nd place Detroit Tigers have been playing near .500 ball in May. The Tigers' hitting has remained excellent but the pitching has faltered badly. They've also lost star outfielder Al Kaline for 2 months. The Washington Senators continue to confound all the experts with their standing in the league. They are 2nd to Minnesota in team hitting and pitching. The Cleveland Indians, Chicago White Sox, and Los Angeles Angels all improved in May. The New York Yankees are underperforming quite a bit. They've been getting good pitching but the hitting has been more than inadequate. Mantle has missed games due to injury and Roger Maris is really struggling after a record year in '61. The team as a whole has just not shown the power we've seen with most NY teams. Nothing much to say about Baltimore, Boston, and Kansas City. They've all played poorly.
