1966 Final NL Standings and League Leaders

October 3, 1966

The Los Angeles Dodgers are the 1966 NL Champions. The Dodgers hitting attack was near the bottom of the league, but they rode the finest pitching staff in MLB to the NL title. The Pittsburgh Pirates were the best hitting team in the NL, and while the pitching staff was in the upper half of the league, it wasn't enough. They finished in 2nd place.
The Atlanta Braves also provided many of the top hitters in the league. Felipe Alou won the Batting title with a .344BA. Hank Aaron won the HomeRun Crown by hitting 50, Joe Torre was 4th with 39. Torre was the top RBI man with 130, Aaron 2nd with 125. Lou Brock of the St. Louis Cardinals swiped 72 bases to lead the league. There were 5, 20 game winners led by Sandy Koufax's 24. Koufax also led the league in strikeouts with 318. Houston Astro Mike Cuellar's 1.60 ERA was tops in the NL.

1966 NL Standings

August 1, 1966

The Los Angeles Dodgers still hold the top spot in the NL as the season enters the month of August. The Dodgers have been getting it done with superb pitching from their starting quartet of Koufax, Sutton, Drysdale and Osteen. Closer Phil Regan is tops in the NL with 12 saves.. The 2nd place Atlanta Braves have been right on the Dodgers heels, but the Braves have relied on their bats. Torre, Aaron, and Alou lead the Braves attack. Pittsburgh and San Francisco are still in the hunt, while St. Louis has dropped off the pace with a league worst 10-20 record in July.

1966 NL Standings at the All-Star break

July 11, 1966

As the NL season pauses for the All-Star break, the Los Angeles Dodgers find themselves in 1st place. The Dodgers swept a 4 game series from the Atlanta Braves right before the break, allowing them to overtake the Braves for the top spot in the league. LA (the top pitching club in the NL) only allowed 8 runs to Atlanta (the top hitting club in the league) in the series. The Pittsburgh Pirates have returned to their winning ways after falling off the pace in June and are 5 games back of the league leader. The San Francisco Giants continued their steady play in July while the St. Louis Cardinals have fallen back a bit. Both teams are still very much in the pennant race.
