Jayson Stark column that is, for a change, kind of interesting.
Polanco has a .336 average, which is 2nd in all of baseball and would lead the American League. But since he started the season in Philadelphia, he doesn't have enough AB's to qualify for either league's title. Shades of Mark McGwire in 1997 and the 1990 NL batting race.
