1972 NL Standings

September 30, 1972

The Pittsburgh Pirates are the first team to clinch the pennant in this 1972 MLB season. The Pirates are the NL East Champions. They get the official SOM *WON* designation although they really clinched the pennant earlier in the week. The "MAGIC#" listed here is based on a 162 game season. Because of the strike shortened season, most of the teams will only play 155 games, thus the MAGIC# disparity. The Cincinnati Reds Magic # in the NL West is actually 1, not 8 as displayed in the Standings.
