Brett seeks half title share for McRae in batting race
Kansas City star George Brett asked baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn to award half of his American League batting title to Royals teammate Hal McRae after a controversial end to the season. Brett finished at .333, one point ahead of McRae amid claims Minnesota’s Steve Brye misplayed a ball. AL president Lee MacPhail said the league found Brett the winner on merit. McRae urged moving past the episode as the Royals and Yankees prepared for the playoffs.
