Dennis McLain, who carried the Tigers to their first pennant in 23 years, is a shoe-in for MVP in the American League. The brash 24-year-old right hander won 31 games this season, the highest total any major league pitcher has posted since Lefty Grove won 31 for the old Philadelphia Athletics in 1931. McLain, equally renowned for his musical virtuosity and his big mouth, has never played in a world series...

To keep his 6-ft., 182-lb. frame in shape, Evans, 42, began jogging a few years ago, long before it became the thing to do. Last year friends gave him the "Tired Tennis Shoe Award"?a scruffy old sneaker which he proudly displays in a glass case in his office.
