1972 AL News Recap and League Leaders

August 15, 1972

Standings and League Leaders in the AL at the middle of August. New York Yankee Bobby Murcer has led the way for his team's hold on 1st place in the AL East. The same can be said for Oakland's Reggie Jackson and the A's hold on 1st in the AL West. Cleveland's Gaylord Perry has continued to be the top pitcher in the AL, but Detroit's Mickey Lolich and Oakland's Catfish Hunter have narrowed the gap.
