1966 AL News Recap; Standings and League Leaders

May 1, 1966

The month of April is in the record books for the 1966 AL season. Detroit Tigers Norm Cash and Al Kaline are both off to good starts and find themselves in the top 6 for HR and RBI. They same can be said for the Baltimore Orioles Frank Robinson and Boog Powell. Robinson, who was obtained from the NL Cincinnati Reds before the start of the season, is expected to push the Orioles to the top this year and he's been delivering so far. Kansas City's Bert Campaneris leads the AL in BA with a .436 mark. While there have been many good pitching performances so far this year, there isn't any 1 pitcher standing out above all others.
