Detroit POlrer


The answer to why the Detroit
Tigers won the American league pen
nant is contained in the first two
lines of the official runs-batted in
released today. They read:
PLAYER Club u BIB RBI
Greenberg Detroit las SO $50
York Detroit 155 SO 134
The two potent war clubs of
Greenberg and York drove in
total OF 2S4 runs, more than any
other two players in the league.
Greenberg led with $50 RBI, and
York was second with 1874. Green
berg walked 90 times, struck out rs
times and grounded into only Is
infield double plays. York drew 80
passes, famed IS times and hit into
only y infield double plays.
Although the Tigers finished
fourth in pitching and sixth in
fielding. the thunder in the bats
of Greenberg and York supplied
the power which catapulted Detroit
TO the championship. The shift of
Greenberg from first base to the
outfield enabling the Tigers to play
York at the initial sack thus turned
out to be the decisive move of the
pennant campaign.
