Castoffs Stir Front Offices Indians Set AL Record
The Indians, propelled by castoffs like Essegian, Belinsky and Thomas, surged to an AL record with 25 home runs in eight games. Essegian, amid a five-club rejection, had four hits two homers as Cleveland split a doubleheader with Detroit while maintaining a first place tie with the Yankees. Belinsky, released by Baltimore, recovered to win and boost Mets and Cubs in other NL and AL action.
