One week left in the 1957 season and Hank Aaron and Boog Powell are tied with 47 home runs. Powell has driven in 147 runs, breaking the old mark of 134 set by Greg Walker. Aaron (.334) is now battling Vada Pinson (333) for the batting title.
Amazing race in the I-10 Division. On September 1st, the Mobile Hustlers were in 1st place 9 1/2 games ahead of the second place Baton Rouge Artillery. Mobile went into the dumpster, at one point losing 10 straight games. Meanwhile Baton Rouge got hot. Monday September 23, Mobile is 88-60 and Baton Rouge is 87-61. Fort Worth is sitting on top of the I-20 division with a 91-57 record, so barring a collapse they should earn the first round bye.
