1966 AL Standings and League Leaders at the All-Star Break

July, 11, 1966

The Baltimore Oriole's Frank Robinson is making a push for the Triple Crown with an amazing season, but it is the play of New York's Mickey Mantle, Tom Tresh, and Joe Pepitone that have surprised many and propelled the Yankees to the top spot in the AL. After a slow start this year, the ailing Mantle has been red hot the last 2 months and leads the league in BA with a .363 mark and is 5th with 22 HR. Boog Powell has teamed with Robinson to help lead the Orioles to their winning record in the league.
