New York Yankee Bobby Murcer and Chicago White Sox pitcher Wilbur Wood stand out as top performers so far in the 1972 AL season. Murcer is leading the AL in BA and is in the top 4 in HR and RBI. Wilbur Wood has started and completed 5 games. At one point Wood had a scoreless inning streak of 34 before a run was scored against him. For my Tigers, Norm Cash is off to a good start. He leads the AL with 14 RBI and is 3rd in hitting with a .400 BA. The Minnesota Twins Harmon Killebrew, Oakland's Reggie Jackson, and Cleveland's Gaylord Perry should also be noted for their good starts on the season.
