America League Preview (Part 1)
Boston Red Sox Red Sox hope to get support from Bobby Thompson and Billy Cox and well as Steve Gromeck having a very productive season. Chicago White Sox The worst team in the AL last season, they are hoping and praying that is not the case this season. Cleveland Indians Indians are looking for Hank Sauer to hit his 30 HR as he did last season. Red Embree looks to a good season. Detroit Tigers Hal Newhouser is on a roll, Triple Crown winner in '45, is pumped for another exciting season. But he alone cant hold off the Yankees. Vern Stephens and Nick Etten will help the cause.

American League Preview (Part 2)
New York Yankees Yankees won their Championship win #5 and are looking to repeat. Howie Pollet and Joe Dobson, both 20 game winners in '46, lead a tough rotation. Stan Musial and Gil Hodge are the potent offense. Philadelphia Athletics Middle of the road team, Johnny Mize, Hank Thompson, Ralph Kiner, and Hoot Evers all hold a pop of their bat. Bobo Newsom and Roger Wolff are over their prime and could be a factor. St Louis Browns Browns finished on second to the Yankees. Eddie Robinson provides the offense while Mickey Harris leads a challenging pitching staff. Washington Senators After 6 straight losing seasons, the Senators turned it around. The pitching staff was healthy and offense recovered. Hank Greenberg and Schoolboy Row maybe will be retiring at the end of the season

July 1st 1948 Update
The American League looks like three teams in a rat race for the chance to appear in the World Series. New York, Detroit, and Philadelphia are all separated by a single game. Over in the National League the Braves are on a roll with their 8 game winning streak, and are outpacing the rest of the league. Standings Batting Stats Pitching Stats Washington Senators The month of June was a disaster. A 9-20 record as the offense and defense broke down. Feller and Ferguson are over 9.30 era. Called up Carl Erskine and he pitches a shut out.
