September 5, 1971
The Detroit Tigers announced today that Willie Horton has been put on the 15 day disabled list retroactive to August 28. Horton was beaned in a game in Chicago on August 27 and has been slow to recover resulting in his being placed on the DL.
In other news, the Chicago White Sox held a press conference this morning and announced that 2nd baseman Mike Andrews will miss the rest of the regular season. Andrews was injured in a collision at 1st base during a game against the Minnesota Twins on September 1. X-rays have revealed a broken wrist that will sideline him the rest of the year. Mike was having a career year this season, leading the AL with a .338BA. Having only 364 at bats at this point in the season, Andrews will not qualify for the batting title even if his average still leads the league at seasons end.

1971 AL Replay- Standings as of September 1
| September 1, 1971 The ML baseball season heads into the final month finding the Detroit Tigers and Oakland A's leading their respective divisions in the American League. The Tigers lead 2nd place Baltimore by 7.5 games in the AL East while Oakland has a nice 10.5 game cushion over the Chicago White Sox in the AL West. Baltimore was picked as the AL favorites at the beginning of the year but haven't gotten the pitching excellence or hitting consistency expected of them. The Tigers meanwhile, have gotten excellent pitching from their 3 top starters: Mickey Lolich, Joe Coleman, and Les Cain. Their bullpen has been suspect however, with only Tom Timmermann and Bill Denehy pitching well consistantly. The Detroit ballclub has gotten timely, explosive hitting this year to win many games with Norm Cash and Willie Horton leading the way. If Baltimore doesn't pick up the pace, the AL East pennant may be decided before the final week of the season. The Oakland A's in the AL West have been the most consistant team in the AL this year. Getting excellent pitching from their starters and from their bullpen. Vida Blue and Jim 'Catfish' Hunter have put on the most impressive displays of pitching prowess while Reggie Jackson will have to be considered a prime candidate for AL MVP for his batting contributions. The A's have to be the favorites to win it all in the AL this season. |

1971 NL Replay-Standings as of September 1
| September 1, 1971 The NL season heads into the final month of the season with the Pittsburg Pirates holding a comfortable lead of 15.5 games over second place Chicago in the NL East. Over in the NL West, the San Francisco Giants have a slim 1 game lead over Los Angeles while the 3rd place Houston Astros trail by 9 games. Pittsburg has played the best baseball in the Major Leagues this year and barring a complete collapse, should be the favorites to win it all in the NL this year. The SF Giants and the LA Dodgers have been battling each other most of the season and LA actually moved into 1st place for a week in mid-August. The West division pennant probably won't be decided until the final week of the season. |

1971 AL Replay- Aug. 24 Min vs. Det
| August 24,1971 Shortstop Eddie Brinkman helped lead the Detroit Tigers to a 5-2 victory over the Minnesota  Twins tonight with his bat as well as his glove. Ed had his best game of the season at the plate going 3 for 4 and driving in 3 runs. Brinkman has been a regular fixture in the Detroit lineup this season because of his defensive play but tonight it was his hitting, as well as his glove play, that earned Detroit the win. Besides starting 3 rally killing doubleplays Ed had the key hit in the bottom of the 8th, breaking a 2-2 tie. The Twins walked Aurelio Rodriguez loading the bases with 2 outs to pitch to Brinkman. Eddie then drove a pitch up the left-center field gap, clearing the bases and providing the Tigers with the winning margin. |
