Fox Easy Winner For AL Honor By FRED DOWN
Nelson, long a tough rider, captured United Press International 1959 American League Player of the Year in a 16 of 24 vote by a committee of experts. Fox, 155 pounds, powered the Chicago White Sox with Apolcario, Francona, and Landis helping the Sox win the pennant and provide a potent double play combo. Fox batted .306 with 70 RBIs and anchored the infield, shaping Apolicio into a standout shortstop alongside stars Rizzuto Marion Reese and others.
