APRIL 1967
The first month of the season in the American League went pretty much according to script as preseason favourites Cleveland and Minnesota jumped out to the lead. The biggest surprise, at least early in the month, was the Baltimore Orioles opening the season with a 1-8 skid as they ran into a hot Twins team as well as the improving Kansas City Athletics. The Orioles did get back on track with a 7-2 run to end the month.
The New York Yankees also stuggled, winning just 6 of 15 games. Many in New York are wondering if this is the beginning of the end for outfielder Mickey Mantle (.245,0,4), who struggled mightily through his first 15 games after hitting just .180 in spring training.
The National League remains very tight with 8 of the 10 teams within 3.5 games of first place. The Pirates pitching, led by Luis Tiant (3-1, 0.85) and Woodie Fryman (3-1, 0.60) has been outstanding and outfielder Joe Pepitone (.303,4,10) is off to a strong start at the dish. In San Francisco, 28 year old outfielder Matty Alou (.353,0,11) is having a great start as the lead-off man, setting the table for Jim Ray Hart (.292,3,10) and Willie McCovey(.270,2,11). Giants pitching behind Juan Marichal (2-1, 1.72) and Gaylord Perry (2-1, 3.00) has also been strong.

Biography
At the time of his retirement in 1972, knuckleballing master reliever Hoyt Wilhelm had appeared in more games (1,070) than any pitcher in major league history, with a late-starting ML career that still spanned 21 years. He established records for relief wins (123), games pitched in relief (1,018), games finished by a pitcher (651), and innings pitched in relief (1,870). His 227 saves place him among the all-time leaders. Fittingly, he was the first relief pitcher elected to the Hall of Fame, and the first pitcher inducted with fewer than 150 career wins.
Wilhelm was a high school pitcher in North Carolina when he read an article about knuckeballer Emil “Dutch” Leonard and began experimenting with the pitch. After a year in the minors, his progress was interrupted by WWII, in which he won the Purple Hear
