The NL is starting to be more competitive in recent history, however (-: !! P.S. An interesting note is that the Yankees have won 22, or almost half, of the American League's 48 victories, including an incredible span of 10 of 16 World Titles between 1947 & 1962. Good thing the Yanks are in the AL!! Dan Van Handel drutx!dtvh
