Pitcher Mike Norris was the American League's first five-game winner and Matt Keough was just behind him at 4-0. Keough also led the league in strikeouts (24), followed by Mike Norris (23). Leftfielder Rickey Henderson, who broke Ty Cobb's American League record for stolen bases last year with 100, was off to a swift beginning with 16 steals and led the league in runs scored with 21. Rightfielder Tony Armas topped three lists: home runs, 7; RBIs, 22; total bases...

The five starters (Norris, Langford, Keough, Steve McCatty, Brian Kingman) turned in 17 complete games in 21 starts-so many that the team's relievers worked a total of only 11% innings.

Keough fought back by temporarily refusing to talk to the Globe, cooperating instead with the rival Herald American...
Some families do not mind, believing that if they talk about their feelings, their countrymen will remember the missing Americans. Says Allyssa Keough of South Burlington, Vt., 19, whose father William Keough Jr. is a captive: "I don't want people to forget. This is the only way I know to help." Dorothea Morefield of San Diego, wife of Hostage Richard Morefield, has found reporters to be a source of emotional support. Says she: "Some of them I trust completely. A group of CBS correspondents stayed here one night answering the phone, so that my boys and I could...
