DIAMOND DUST VOL 1952 NO 1

After five weeks of play the Dodgers and Giants are tied in the NL while in the AL the Yankees have edged out the Indians by one game for first place. The Yankees have a sparkling 15-1 home record produced solely by the computer's auto play feature. GO HAL!

Eddie Robinson of the White Sox is smoking with a major league leading .364 batting average and tops in on-base percentage, slugging, and total bases. The league's pitching has retaliated by plunking Mr. Robinson a league leading 4 times in 28 games.

On the defensive side of the ball, Mike Garcia of the Indians has a perfect 5-0 record and a 1.86 ERA just .06 off the mark of league leading pitcher Robin Roberts of the Braves.

Week 6 games (all 4 game series):

White Sox @ Giants
Indians @ Cardinals
Braves @ Yankees
Dodgers @ Redsox
