Trivia

Because of the dominance of Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees in the AL East as well as AL Central having been the weakest division in American League, this division as of 2005 was the only one in all of baseball that had never produced a wild card team. However in 2006 the division has gained the reputation of being the toughest in baseball with the records and play of the Tigers, White Sox and Twins.

American League - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1484 words)
With the demise of the American Association after the 1891 season, the National League expanded to become a 12-team circuit with monopoly status for the rest of the decade.
The American League consisted of the same eight teams from 1903 through 1954, when the St. Louis Browns moved to Baltimore and were rechristened the Baltimore Orioles.
Beginning with the 1994 season, the league has been divided into three divisions (East, West, and Central), with the addition of a wild card team (the team with the best record among teams finishing in second place) to enable four teams to advance to the preliminary American League Division Series.
