1938 AL Standings and League Leaders

July 1 1938

Boston Red Sox 1st baseman Jimmy Foxx has been tearing up the AL with his hitting and would be getting all the sports headlines if not for one other person. That person is Detroit Tiger Hank Greenberg. Greenberg continued his assault on the MLB HR record by hitting 19 in the month of June. He now has hit 39 HR this season. Hank also had 47 RBI in June, keeping him ahead of Foxx in that category too. Cleveland's Bob Feller has the most wins in the AL and his overall record is 11-3, with a 3.43ERA and a league leading 104 strikeouts in 123 IP.
