Detroit Crowned Kings of the American Baseball League Eastern Division
Friday, September 26th , 1975
The pennant has been won, the Detroit Wolverines are champions of the American Baseball League Eastern Division.
Center Fielder Jerry Plumley said his team is a "gritty and determined" club that were poised to win the division from day one.
"We knew the day the season opened that we'd be champions," he said. "It was just a matter of going out there and doing it."
At the helm, team manager Alex Wobbema said his club is certainly not short on confidence.
"There's a lot of belief in the dugout and in the clubhouse," he said.
Detroit's record currently sits at 84-75 and it's the 15th division win for the franchise.

The Math Says - Baltimore Out of Playoffs
Friday, September 26th , 1975
When a team loses its shot at a World Series championship, it's "the worst day of the year," said Baltimore Lords manager Steve Read.
That day has now come for Baltimore, as they were mathematically eliminated from playoff contention today.
Before this season, the Lords last missed the playoffs in 1973. In the 94 years they have been a Major League Baseball franchise, they have missed the playoffs 89 times. In the last 10 seasons, the Lords have only made the playoffs once.

Friday, September 26th , 1975
The 1975 playoffs will include the Dallas Wranglers.
With their record sitting at 95-64, the Wranglers have officially secured a spot in this year's postseason.
"Winning the American Baseball League Western Division is still the goal, of course. But this is the first step," said first baseman Duane Simmons.
