Well, the Yankees are in good shape as we approach the time when, according to the baseball axiom, the team in first place on the 4th of July is the team that is supposed to be there when the last game of the season has been played.

That is held through in more cases than not.

However, it is not something in which you can always bet all of your

possession. But it's a nice place to be any dime, and the Yankees are substantially better off

than they were a year ago at this time and look to be really coming on as of right now.

With the lineups being exchanged, let's take a look and see what the batting orders will be.

All the Detroit Tigers, Eddie Oath, leads off at third base,

Frank bowling at second, Charlie Maxwell will be in left field,

Cash at first base, Calavito in right, Al Kaline in center,

Chico Fernandez at shortstop, Red Wilson catching, and

Don Mawsey pitching.

For the Yanks, Richardson at second, Lopez in left, Maris in right field, mantle in

center, Scowron, first base,Dougall's third Alston Howard will catch

Cletus Boyer will be a shortstop as Tony Kubachs rides the bench as we start this double headerer. And Shirley will pick.

No need to tell you that the Yankees have taken the field as that roar goes up.

Fangl and Dykes exchange a few words at home plate before breaking up, and now will all rise for our national anthem.

Thank you. to home play before breaking up, and now we'll all rise for our national anthem. and the world and the world and the love
