Ten Or More Hurlers Expected To Reach 20 Wins This Year
Associated Press sports writer Ted Neifg reports that more than ten pitchers may reach 20 victories in 1943, led by Rip Sewell of the Pirates who stands at 17–2. The National League dominates the cohort with four likely 20-game winners, while the Yankees’ Spud Chandler is the leading American Leaguer near the mark. Several others hover in the “maybe” and outside chances, with a mix of 10–11 win records cited across multiple teams. Pittsburgh beat Philadelphia 6–2 as Vince DiMaggio hit his 13th homer, capping a seventh-inning rally and earning Mex Butcher win number six.
