Baseball Outlook for 1948 American and National Leagues
The author predicts the Boston Red Sox will challenge the Cleveland Indians in the American League with strong pitching from Feller and a solid lineup led by Williams while the Indians feature Boudreau, Keltner, and Doby backed by a powerful mound corps. In the National League he expects the Boston Braves to repeat, with the Dodgers a close second, and notes strong showings from the Pirates, Cards, and Giants amid aging rosters. The summary ends with a projected order: Braves, Tigers, Athletics, Browns, Senators, White Sox.
