1966 AL News Recap: Standings and League Leaders

Sept. 1, 1966

The Baltimore Orioles Frank Robinson still has a good shot at claiming the Triple Crown this season. Only New York's Mickey Mantle and his .341 BA stand in his way, but Mantle's injury plagued season may leave him short of the qualified at bats needed by seasons end. Pitching has been a mixed bag this season with no pitcher really dominating the league.
