1959 AL Standings

 September 15, 1959

  The Cleveland Indians Magic # is down to 6. With only 10 games or less for the contending teams remaining, the Indians look like a lock to win the AL Pennant. Detroit and Chicago have 6 games left against each other, so they'll probably be knocking each other further back. But funnier things have happened though. Detroit fans will have to keep their fingers crossed.
