1962 NL Standings and League Leaders

 September 20, 1962

  It's the 20th of September in the 1962 MLB season. The San Francisco Giants have cliched the pennant in the NL. All that's left to see in the regular season is the order of team finish and who comes out on top in the various statistical categories. 

  Cincinnati's Frank Robinson is still vying for the Triple Crown. Robinson is 1st in RBI and 2nd in BA and HR. His teammate Bob Purkey looks like a shoe-in for the Cy Young Award with 27 Wins and a 2.73 ERA. LA's Maury Wills has set a new mark in MLB with 121 SB.
