Figures Aren't Supposed to Lie in AL Batting List
New York Yankee Gerry Coleman tops the American League batting average with a .556 mark after five games, while Ferris Fain of the Athletics sits last with an 0 for 18 start. Coleman, who had never hit .300 in the majors, went 10 for 18 and believes luck is guiding his hits. Fain calls it unlucky as he remains hitless and has four at bats in a recent game.
