Mitchell Has .361 Average But He Still Fights To Play
Cleveland Indian left fielder Dale Mitchell, amid battles for his job since 1946, remains in the lineup with a .361 batting average and steady within the pennant race. He credits competition with keeping his hitting sharp as spring training reshuffles yielded rookie Jim Fridley and late-season pushbacks. Mitchell's recent key hits include a ninth-inning infield single to beat the Red Sox, a single in the 1-0 win over the Yankees, a go-ahead homer as Cleveland edged New York, and multiple RBIs as he climbs the AL batting race.
