Late August 1949. Gwynn has whiffed grand total of 1 time all season. He's once again in the batting race, but he just might not take home the crown this season, unless Reese Mcgwire goes in the tank for the month of September. McGwire is hitting in the .370 range and so far has shown no signs of slowing down.

Juan Gonzalez is having an incredible 1949 season. With a month to play, he has 42 home runs. Will be interesting to see if he can reach 50. Gonzalez bats 3rd for the Toledo Mud Hens and is followed in the lineup by Eugenio Suarez. Suarez is on pace for 30+ bombs. The two sluggers have a chance to combine for 250+ RBI's on the season. Right now the Toledo Mud Hens are playing the role of pests in the Northern Division. They aren't out of the race, but need to get hot to be considered contenders. That being said, they continue to make things tough for Dayton and Fort Wayne, the two top teams in the division. At the moment, Dayton sits 1 1/2 games ahead of the Fort Wayne TinCaps.

The San Antonio Missions sit atop the Southern Division by 6 games over the Memphis Redbirds. You can never count the Redbirds out due to their strong pitching staff that includes Tom Seaver, Don Drysdale and Brandon Webb. Oscar Charleston leads the charge for the Missions offensively, while 1948's Cy Young winner Dave Brown is their ace. Brown is well on his way to another 20+ win season and if it wasn't for Dayton's Pedro Martinez a second Cy Young would be a sure thing. Pedro Martinez is currently 24-4 for the Dragons. I'm starting to wonder if 30 wins is a possibility.
