1973 WPK Standings- May 1st.
As the calendar flips to May, we see that the Jacksonville Wolf Pack, who have never finished below 3rd place in their SJL history, leads the SJL with a tremendous 14-4 April. The Boston Berserkers, pre-season favorites to win the SJL pennant, are also off to a very good start at 12-5, but after that every SJL team is under .500 with the Pittsburgh Roadrunners pulling up the rear at 6-11.
The Brooklyn Aces are off to the best start in the MGL at 12-5 with our Denver Brewers and the reigning WPK champions, the Charlotte Sting, tied for 2nd place with 10-7 records. The L.A. Spinners, predicted by most to win the league this season, are next at 10-9. Once again, the Phoenix Speed Devils get off to a poor start after being predicted to do good things. At 7-11 they are in last place and inexplicably, for a team with so many great power hitters who play their home games in a good hitters park, they are 9th in the league in runs scored, and last in both batting average and OBP. (They are 1st in HR's, though, naturally.)
