1962 AL Standings and League Leaders

July 20, 1962

  My Detroit Tigers are still holding on to 1st place in the AL. Only the Washington Senators and New York Yankees gained any ground over the last 10 days. The Minnesota Twins had led the AL since May 15th before Detroit overtook them 2 weeks ago. The Twins have kept pace with the Tigers since then and are still in 2nd, 1/2 a game out of the top spot. The Cleveland Indians dropped a spot in the Standings after going 2-8 the last 10 games.
 LA's Leon Wagner still leads the AL in HR(35) and RBI(84). Brooks Robinson (.359 BA) of the Baltimore Orioles is still battling with Boston's Pete Runnels (.354 BA) for top hitter in the league. Minnesota's Camilo Pascual (16-2, 2.76 ERA, 146 K's) is still the top rated pitcher in the AL. New York's Ralph Terry (14-3, 2.45 ERA, 102 K's) is challenging Pascual for that honor.
