Week #11 in Review: The AL West Situation

Angels and Twins split.  Andy Messersmith dominates game 4.  But the first 3 were all down to the wire.  (submitted by D.Zaner)

Meanwhile, the Royals swept the A's for their 8th straight win to reward Justin Ryan with his first AL West crown.  Willie Wilson stole his league leading 30th base in the series finale.  On the Wildcard front, the Angels easily qualified as the #1 WC.  

The Pale Hose needed 2 wins vs lowly Texas to qualify for the play in game.  3 wins would have sured up the 2nd WC slot.  Texas showed some pride and took the first 3 games of the series to eliminate Chicago.  Even the embattled Gaylord Perry, who was 0-7 heading into the series, managed to scratch out a win.
