April 16, 1959
One full week of the 1959 AL season schedule has been played. The Kansas City Athletics and Cleveland Indians are off to the best starts in the league. The Actual 1959 AL Champion Chicago White Sox are off to the worst start in the league, but of course it's a very early look at this season.
As expected, my Detroit Tigers have shown great offense and weak pitching. They have played more games (5) than most of the other clubs and they've outscored the other teams by a bunch with their 42 runs. That's an average of 8.4 runs per game. But they've also allowed 36 runs, next to last in the league. That's 7.2 runs allowed per game. This all helps explain their 2-3 start so far this season.
Detroit's Al Kaline is off to a tremendous start this year. He's hit a league high 4 Homeruns and leads the AL league with 8 RBI. He's also 5th in BA (.435). Cleveland's Woody Held is also starting fast with 3 Homeruns and 6 RBI.
