ROYALS BOAST HITTING KINGS Experience andower key By RICK MADDOCK The American League play- off features two first time teams. The Kansas City Royals, the third team to represent the' Western Division since the play- offs began in 1969, end Oak- land's five-year domination. The New York Yankees, the fourth Eastern Division representative, are in post season action for the first time since 1964. Statistically, the two teams are very close in the overallj ERA and batting average de- I)artments. However, the Yank- ees may have the advantage because of more power, and pitchers with experience under ERA in playoffs, along with a run title with 32.

These two were the top hitters in the American League, finishing .333 and .332 respectively. Center fielder Amos Otis and first baseman John Mayberry will be counted on for power. The playoffs start with two games in Kansas City on Octo- ber 9 and 10. Then it moves to refurbished Yankee Stadium for the conclusion from October 12- 14. Most "experts" feel if the Yankees split in Kansas City, then the American League flag will belong to New York.
