The Results
Playing .500 ball for the first two months of the season, Harry Stovey turned on the afterburners and claimed the top slot. Also qualifying are Fred Lynn, Socks Seybold, and Sam Wise. Barry Larkin and Paul Konerko had a chance to tie for fourth but dropped their last two contests so we bid farewell to another Hall-of-Famer, plus Michael Bourn and Pat Burrell.
