 Red-Hot Robinson's Hat in MVP Race
Threatens HR Record, Leads
LA to New Heights
LOS
ANGELES (Sept. 1) -- Frank Robinson belted 11 home runs in
August, surpassing Ernie Banks and Harmon Killebrew and inching
closer to Gus Zernial's six-year old single-season record.
Robinson won Batter of the Month in August, batting .333-11-23
with a league-best 1.111 OPS. The 28-year-old left fielder
is hitting .303 and slugging .577 this season, leading Los
Angeles to its best year in its eight-year history.
Robinson has grown his home run total for four straight years,
and has raised his average 56 points over last year.
Los Angeles, a 1955 expansion team, finished .500 in its inaugural
year but has since suffered seven straight losing seasons.
The biggest turnaround this year has been in LA's pitching
staff. Once one of the circuit's weakest pitching teams,
the Outlaws rank 3rd in ERA, led by ace Art Mahaffey (19-8,
3.35), who is a win away from becoming Los Angeles' first
20-game winner, and Jim Bunning (13-13, 3.08), who is poised to
post the best ERA in club history.
  Changing
of the Guard?
Boston,
L.A. Among New Contenders
BOSTON (Sept. 2) -- Boston, Los Angeles, and Washington are on
pace for the first winning seasons in years, perhaps signaling a
changing of the guard among the league's also-rans. While
Brooklyn and Chicago cruise toward their seventh and third
straight division titles, the other 10 teams of the league are
churning under them. Detroit and Louisville, two of five
winning teams a year ago, are now among the bottom three, while
Boston, Washington, and Los Angeles--all 5th and 6th place a
year ago, are poised to land in the top half.
UP:
Boston - record (73-61, 2nd place), last year (71-91, 5th
place), last winning season: 1956
Los Angeles - record (75-60, 2nd place), last year
(70-92, 5th place), last winning season: never
Washington - record (69-66, 3rd place), last year (67-95,
6th place), last winning season: 1958
DOWN:
Louisville - record (49-86, 5th place), last year (82-80,
3rd place), last losing season: 1959
