1968 AL News Recap and League Leaders at the All Star Break

July 8, 1968

Detroit Tiger Willie Horton is making a big run for AL MVP with his 1st half batting #'s. He's 3rd in BA and 1st in HR and RBI. Minnesota's Tony Oliva leads the AL with a .328 BA. Horton's teammate Mickey Lolich (15-1, 2.05) is making a run for the Cy Young Award but Baltimore's Jim Hardin (15-2, 1.92) may have something to say about that.
