Week 3 Summary (04/29/1957 - 05/05/1957)

Week three is in the books and the 1957 replay continues to be a topsy-turvy affair. The White Sox continue to sit atop the AL, but two losses on Sunday have them only percentage points ahead of a streaking Boston team and the Yankees and Tigers are nipping at their heels as well. In the NL Cincinnati, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh have all found themselves both in and out of first place over the past week, including one day where all three were tied with exact same win-loss record.
