League Leaders in the AL at the All Star break. Oakland's Reggie Jackson is putting up some incredible power numbers so far this season. New York's Bobby Murcer has been coming on strong himself. These two players have helped lift their teams into the top spots in their respective Divisions. But the player having the most outstanding season to date has got to be pitcher Gaylord Perry of the Cleveland Indians. Perry has won 19 games this year and is 3rd in the AL in ERA and K's. He's on a pace to win 35 games and has, almost single handily, kept the Indians in the pennant race. As for my Detroit Tigers, Norm Cash has been the top hitter on the club. He's 3rd in the AL in Homeruns and 4th in RBI. Pitchers Mickey Lolich and Joe Coleman are in the top 5 in Wins in the AL with Lolich also 2nd in the league in K's.
