American League - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1467 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.
AL East Teams (837 words)
Much of this was due to their poor bullpen in the first half of the year and they've improved their performance with RISP the second half of the year.
Among everyday players, Posada is the league's best catcher by far, and only great seasons by Delgado and Boone are keeping Giambi and Soriano from the head of their class.
They're actually a pretty good fielding team, but you wouldn't know it, because their pitching is the worst in the league.
