Leftfielder Bob Allison, a lifetime 257 hitter is leading the league in batting with a .533 average and a slugging percentage of .933-28 total bases in 30 times at bat. First Baseman Harmon Killebrew's batting average is .392-he also has four home runs and nine RBIs Rightfielder Tony Oliva, obviously recovered from an off-season operation for bone chips in his right knee, can be expected to hit .300 for the season and the No. 7 man in the batting order...

...time to make the play. Chance was through, and the moment one saw Worthington, a relief pitcher burdened with a big belly, one was sure of victory. He threw two wild pitches. Another run scored. We leaned against each other, laughing, yelling, clapping strangers on the back and shoulders, Killebrew made an error. The fifth run came home, and we were close to our team, close to each other in this communion service...
