Week 15Standings - latorrer0.tripod.com/sombb/1950kp/1959/standings.htmlHighlights: Amarillo's Jack Sanford is throwing darts, only allowing a single run in his last 3 starts, all victories. Sanford has been streaky all year, 3 times losing 3+ games in a row and 2 times winning 3+ games in a row. Sanford is now 10-15 for the Gold Sox, but with the recent winning streak Amarillo has pulled within 6 games of the final playoff spot. Sanford is leading all SPs in losses, even though his ERA is only 3.34 . Hollywood is delivering when it counts, charting the top 3 pinch hitters (with 15 or more PH ABs). Granny Hamner, Lee Walls, and Al Pilarcik are all batting over .400 when digging into the box as pinch hitters. Louisville's Gil Hodges is raking in bases loaded situations, knocking 3 grand slams and 17 RBI in 13 bases loaded plate appearances.

Week 16Standings - latorrer0.tripod.com/sombb/1950kp/1959/standings.htmlHighlights: Amarillo and Charleston are the hot teams heading into the last week in July. The Senators have won 20 out of their last 25 and have pulled ahead of Hollywood by a game, thanks mostly to being tops in 1 run ball games, 25-10. Charleston's run differential (+57) definitely doesn't support the record. Amarillo has put together an amazing turnaround, going 14-2 after coming out of 9 game losing streak at the beginning of the month. The Gold Sox are now only 4 games out of the final playoff spot. Kansas City's Harmon Killebrew continues to pile on the numbers, leading in HR (37) and RBI (98). Killebrew has 6 HR and 16 RBI over his last 10 games. One more week at this pace and he'll break through the 40 HR / 100 RBI marks. Beaumont's Don Drysdale and Chattanooga's Camilo Pascual are locked in a tight race for the strikeout lead, Drysdale has 171 and leads Pascual by 4 Ks.

Week 23Standings - latorrer0.tripod.com/sombb/1950kp/1959/standings.htmlHighlights: 3 games now cover the top 4 teams, home field advantage is on the line next week, none of the flights are booked yet and playoff tickets aren't printed! Montreal bats are red hot and could make a move this week, Eddie Mathews, Rocky Colavito, and Tito Francona have combined for 36 RBI, 10 HR, and 46 hits over the last 10 days. They are primed for the post season. Hollywood's Willie McCovey is 12 points away from .400, he'll need a huge week at the plate to get there, not out of the question though. In the Overall Decade standings it is incredibly close. With the wins from 1959 included the standings are: Thru 58 59 Total
Amarillo Gold Sox (AGS) 765 72 837
Denver Bears (DEN) 767 64 831

Hollywood Stars (HOL) 685 83 768
New Orleans Pelicans (NOP) 714 53 767
Kansas City Blues (KCB) 636 67 703
Amarillo's late summer push has kept them at the top of the standings, Denver struggled this year and gave the chase pack a chance to catch them, Charleston's strong 58/59 have them positioned to jump to the top if they can get hot in the post season. All in all, after 10 seasons, to have a race this close is a testimony to the competitiveness of the managers! THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR MANAGERS!!!!!
