1973 AL Standings and League Leaders

 June 1, 1973

  It's June 1st in the 1973 AL season. The Baltimore Orioles are in 1st place in the AL East and have the best overall record in the league. They have an 8.5 game lead over my 2nd place Detroit Tigers. The AL West is much more closely contested. The Chicago White Sox have a 2 game lead over the Oakland A's. The Minnesota Twins are only 3 games back, while Kansas City and California are 5 and 6 games back respectively. 

  New York Yankee Bobby Murcer is still making a run at the Triple Crown. He's 1st in HR and RBI and 2nd in BA. There's been many good pitching performances this season. Boston's Luis Tiant, Chicago's Wilbur Wood, California's Nolan Ryan, and Oakland's Ken Holtzman are some of the top pitchers.
