Bretts Bat Title Not Official Yet
George Brett finished with a .333 average, just ahead of Hal McRae at .332, in a disputed finish to the AL batting race. The controversy centers on a ninth inning inside the park homer in which the ball fell in front of Twins fielder Steve Brye, prompting AL and commissioner scrutiny and a possible racial prejudice claim by McRae.
