Just made it to the all-star break 1948. Ralph Kiner is on pace to hit 60 home runs. Dude has hit 3 home runs in a game 3 times so far. The last time he hit 3 was the first game of a double header. He drove in 10 runs in the first game and 2 more in the 2nd. His line for the day, 6-9, 3 home runs, 12 rbi. He has 32 home runs at the break. Crazy thing is, at one time Kiner was around 10 home runs behind Ted Williams. He's now 6 ahead. Williams is ahead in the rbi department though, 92-85,
Boston is up 7 games in the AL over New York. Cleveland had a horrible June dropping behind the surprising Philadelphia Athletics into 4th place. In the NL, Brooklyn and Boston go into the break tied for 1st place. St. Louis is in third place. The Cardinals had a bad stretch to start June, but they've seemed to have righted the ship at months end. A team that really took a nosedive is the Philadelphia Phillies. The Phillies were in 1st several times during the 1st half of the season, but fell to a game under .500 at the break.
Washington seems hellbent on nailing down the number 1 draft pick by mid July. The Senators are still in the teens when it comes to victories and it took a short hot streak to get them past 15 wins. Crazy,.
