1972 AL Standings and League Leaders

September 16, 1972

New York's Bobby Murcer, Oakland's Reggie Jackson and Minnesota's Rod Carew dominate the top hitting categories in the AL. Chicago's Wilbur Wood has a shot at 30 W's. California's Nolan Ryan has an outside shot at 300 K's, and the Yankees Sparky Lyle is almost certain to hit 40+ saves by the end of the season.
