American League
The American League of Professional Baseball Clubs, or simply the American League (AL), is one of two leagues that make up Major League Baseball (MLB) in the United States and Canada. It developed from the Western League, a minor league based in the Great Lakes states, which eventually aspired to major league status. It is sometimes called the Junior Circuit because it claimed Major League status for the 1901 season, 25 years after the formation of the National League.
The American League has 15 teams, three in Canada and 12 in the United States. The divisional and league champions of the American League play each other in the best-of-seven AL Championship Series to determine who advances to Major League Baseball’s ultimate showdown, the World Series.
National League
The National League of Professional Baseball Clubs, commonly known as the National League (NL), is the older of two leagues constituting Major League Baseball (MLB) in the United States and Canada, and the second oldest current professional team sports league in North America. Founded on February 2, 1876, to replace the National Association of Base Ball Players (NABBP) which ceased operations due to a gambling scandal andunequal representation, the NL is sometimes called the Senior Circuit, in contrast to MLB’s other league, the American League, which was founded 25 years later.
Both leagues currently have 15 teams. After two years of conflict in a “war” of attrition with thge American Association (AA), peace was made at a meeting on December 7, 1892. Professionalism was declared St. Louis Browns owner Chris Von Der Ahe’s property rights to his team were also recognized by both leagues and he became baseball’s first team owner who was not also a player. The AA had teams in twelve cities while the NL had only eight. Intra-league games were scheduled for the first time that year.
