We're up to 7th place. 6 games out 42-44. The Python has us 44-42. Runs allowed now up to 8th.

Roberto Clemente led all players in voting for the all star team with 1,054,414 votes. He is hitting .309 with 17 HRs and 57 RBI. Woodie Fryman finished first in voting for RPs despite a 3-10 record (some as SP) and a 3.39 ERA.

Steve Carlton was selected by the NL manager to be on the team. He did not finish in the top five in fan voting despite being 12-5 with a 1.62 ERA (mostly with the Cards).

Dave DeBusschere is still playing baseball! He finished 4th in RP voting.

I've had Matty Alou set for all the starts in LF against RHP with Curt FLood starting against LHP. Against RHP Alou has contact 20 vs Floods 15 but on defense Flood is 19 against Alou's 14. I've just set Flood to get half the LF starts against RHP and Alou gets the other half.

Against RHP Murtaugh has Alou leading off when he's in the lineup with Willie Mays second. However with Flood in the lineup he has him hitting second and Dick Allen leadoff. I'm not going to over rule him.
