Mitch's Musings on the 1940 American League pennant race
Ed McAuley of the Cleveland News argues any balanced team could win the AL title as Cleveland, Detroit, Boston, and New York contend. He notes Cleveland's first place rise without strong batting, Detroit injuries including Newsom, Higgins, and Bartell, Boston fading, and the Yankees as the main threat. If the New Yorks or Cavs return to form, they may win the pennant, but haste could ruin the race.
