The American League set numerous marks as 44 records fell this season led by Bobby Doerr at second base with 414 error-free chances. George Stiemweiss posted fewest errors at shortstop and top fielding percentage for keystone players. Eddie Joost matched a league errorless streak and Dom DiMaggio topped outfield putouts. Luke Appling set games at short in 2057. Olivers Keliner and Appling tied league marks for third assists. Boston’s Red Sox set a club record with 14 RBIs in an inning and tied AL mark for most fans in an inning. Base stealing dipped to 63 steals as Pat Seerey posted unusual totals. DiMaggio and Williams remained premier sluggers with runs batted in, home runs, total bases, and slugging leading the league. The piece also notes looming peace talks between leagues and a potential eight-team arrangement, plus college basketball’s open race and Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams as top sluggers.
