September 1, 1959
Several Detroit Tigers are represented in the top 5 of several pitching and batting categories in the AL. Charlie Maxwell, my biggest surprise in this 1959 replay, leads the league in Homeruns (41) and RBI (125). Harvey Kuenn leads in BA (.354). Al Kaline is 3rd in BA (.332) and 2nd in RBI (106). Both Frank Lary and Paul Foytack are 2nd in Wins with 15. Jim Bunning is tops in K's (168).
Chicago's Early Wynn (20-7, 2.64 ERA, 161 K) has been the top pitcher in the AL. Louis Aparicio leads all of MLB by a wide margin in Steals with 51. New York's Art Ditmar is having a very good season (14-7, 1.93 ERA). Cleveland's Rocky Colavito is 2nd in HR (38) and 3rd in RBI (105).
