1962 AL Game: Det. @ NY

June 12, 1962
 Though he is having the worst season of his career, Detroit Tiger Frank Lary is still a "Yankee Killer". Lary is 1-6 with a 7.36 ERA so far this year with his only Win coming against NY. Tonight, Lary got into a pitching duel with the Yankees Bill Stafford, throwing 8 scoreless innings of 5-hit ball before tiring and leaving with the score still 0-0 in the 9th. Detroit finally prevailed in the 11th inning when Rocky Colavito drove in Jake Wood from 3rd base with a single. Terry Fox pitched a perfect inning in the bottom of the 11th to get the Win for Detroit.

1962 AL Standings and League Leaders

June 10, 1962

  10 days into the month of June still finds the Minnesota Twins sitting in 1st place in the AL. The Twins continue to play solid baseball and are 7-3 this month. Harmon Killebrew (.275, 17 HR, 51 RBI) has led the offense and Camilo Pascual (12-1, 2.45 ERA, 92K) has been the top pitcher in the league.
  My 2nd place Detroit Tigers continue to keep place with Minnesota. Rocky Colavito (.310, 18 HR, 54 RBI) and Norm Cash (.299, 14 HR, 40 RBI) lead the Tiger offense which is rated 2nd in the AL. The pitching is still another story. Detroit ranks next to last in the league. The Tigers have given standout reliever Hank Aguirre 2 starts this season with good results, so they've decided to leave Aguirre in the starting rotation for the foreseeable future. Terry Fox has returned from injury and will handle the bulk of the bullpen work. The Tigers still don't expect Al Kaline back until late July.
  Cleveland, Washington and New York are the other teams in the 1st division and above .500. The Indians and Senators have held steady while New York has finally gotten on a roll, winning their last 6 in a row. Ralph Terry is 9-3 with a 2.45 ERA and 69 K for the Yankees. He's in the top 3 in those categories. The Indian's Chuck Essegian is having a standout season (.347 BA, 15 HR, 41 RBI).  He's in the top 5 of those categories. Washington is still the surprise team of the year. They continue to battle game in and game out. The Senators have the top BA in the AL with a .274 mark.
  Los Angeles and Chicago have had a season of some highs and many lows, but seem to be better than their record indicates. While Kansas City has played better as of late, they, along with Baltimore and Boston, have floundered along most of the season.  The Angels' Leon Wagner has caught fire and now leads the AL in HR with 24 and RBI with 55. Chicago's Al Smith leads the league in BA, hitting .370 so far.

1962 NL Standings and League Leaders

June 10, 1962

  We're 10 days into the month of June. The San Francisco Giants are still in 1st place, going 7-3 in their last 10 games. Orlando Cepeda, Willie Mays, and Felipe Alou have been providing punch at the plate for SF. The Philadelphia Phillies have been hot, going 9-1 in their last 10 and moving within 2.5 games of the Giants. The Phillies have been getting excellent offensive production from Johnny Callison and Don Demeter. The 2nd place Cincinnati Reds hit a bump losing their last 4 in a row, but they're 5-5 so far in June keeping the Giants in the crosshairs. Pittsburgh has remained steady, only 3.5 GB San Francisco. The expansion Houston Colt 45's have surprised many with their good play. They've been 8-2 so far in June and 30-27 overall. The Los Angeles Dodgers have been the most disappointing team in the NL to me. The Dodgers have gone 3-7 lately, falling into the 2nd Division, 7.5 GB the league leaders. St. Louis and Milwaukee have also underperformed in this replay. The Cardinals offense has been excellent but their pitching has been bad. Bill White, Stan Musial, and Ken Boyer are among the league leaders in hitting. But only Bob Gibson and Larry Jackson are having decent seasons pitching for St. Louis. The Braves offense has been the worst in the NL and their pitching has been mediocre. Chicago and New York have performed as expected, poorly.
