The Baltimore Orioles had the best record in 1968 for daylight play 35-23, the Cleveland Indians were tops in extra-inning games 12-4 and the Yankees led in doubleheader play with seven sweeps and 14 splits against only two double losses.
Carl Yastrzemski of the Boston Red Sox won the batting title with a .301 mark, making him the eighth American League player to capture back-to-back championships and Bert Campaneri of Oakland won his fourth consecutive stolen base title with a personal career high of 62.
