Another equally unhelpful theory is that pitching wins pennants. Baltimore's, at best, is unpredictable. The Detroit pitchers conned most predicters last year, but Hank Aguirre slumped to 3-9, Joe Sparma to 2-7, Mickey Lolich and Bill Monbouquette to ERA's over 4.70. The White Sox starters had good ERA's but mediocre records, and a corps which opens with journeyman John Buzhardt can't be too imposing. California's roster doesn't contain a single starter sure of winning five games. The Twins' staff includes three recent 20-game winners, but only unspectacular Jim Kaat has ever...
...liked the Braves since they got rid of Gene Conley, Bill Bruton, Johnny Logan, Del Crandall, Milwaukee, and Eddie Mathews, but they're going to finish second this year.

The only trouble Hank has with Mike is carrying on a conversation. Mike, who studies social psychology in the offseason, likes to quote Socrates, Shakespeare and Ralph Waldo Emerson; even when he is talking baseball, he tosses off such words as indigenous and meaningfulness. Bauer finally had to take...
...HANK CRAWFORD MR BLUES (Atlantic). Crawford, who came to his own band from Ray Charles's, specializes in the blues, but he goes after them so vigorously that he turns them into outbursts of affirmation. His instrument for these determined attacks is usually the alto sax, although he can also operate very effectively with the piano. Half the pieces are his own, but most of the others, like Lonely Avenue, also burst with swinging good spirits...
...forward Hank South did most of the damage for the visitors in the first half, with 13 points. The 6 ft. 3 in, sophomore finished the night with 27, mostly from in close...
