That post made me curious so I looked up the final AL standings when the strike hit with about 40 games to go:
East - NY Yankees 70-43
Central - Chicago 67-46
West - Texas 52-62 (That's not a typo)
WC
Cleveland - 66-47
Baltimore - 2.5 GB
Kansas City - 3 GB
Toronto - 12 GB
Royals were 3 back of the WC and 4 back of the division, and were on fire in the 2nd half of the season. Kind of gets lost in history though because everyone talks about the Expos, who had the best record in baseball when the strike hit.
