July 1932

The AL is as wide open as it has ever been. The Browns went 11-14. Their recent lackluster play finally caught up to them as the Yankees pulled into first place late in the month. However, no team has taken control of the league, and 5 teams are separated by just 2.5 games.

The Phillies and Braves, behind incredible starting pitching, have pulled away from the pack in the NL. Philadelphia still holds a lead, but Boston has narrowed it to just 1 game. Both teams have all 4 starting pitchers in the top 15 ERA's in the NL! Boston has the best ERA in the majors at 3.24, but Philadelphia is right behind them at 3.25. The Phillies have the 9th best team batting average, and the Braves are 10th. The Phillies have scored the 5th most runs, the Braves 6th. They are very evenly matched, and it has showed. The one hitter who stands out is slugging Phillies catcher Willard Schwarz, who has 32 homeruns to date and is on pace to break his own incredible record of 40 longballs hit just 3 seasons ago.

Batters of the Month:

AL - "Moonlight" Graham, RF, New York Yankees - He hit .379 with 3 homeruns, 24 RBI, 17 runs scored and 9 steals.

NL - Dale "The Wizard" Reneau, SS, Philadelphia Phillies - He hit .495 with 2 homeruns, 10 RBI, 18 runs scored and 7 steals.

Pitchers of the Month:

AL - Jethro "Dodge" Lee, Washington Senators - He was 5-1 with a 1.36 ERA.

NL - Bourbon Allen, Boston Braves - He was 6-0 with a 1.83 ERA and a shutout.
