September 1st 1961
What a difference a month can make. In the American League, Cleveland caught up to the Twins and overtook them and then proceeded to
lose 8 straight. The National League saw the cooling off of the Red, then they put their efforts in high gear. The following even was considered
a first in recent memory as a No Hit team actually won a game. The Twins saw one of their stars go down with a season ending injury, Duke
Snider. We are coasting to the most interesting and intense month in Baseball. Stay tuned to see who will meet in the World Series.
