History

August 1st The league is founded the February 2nd 1876 with New York by eight franknesses. Six of them disappeared.

Traditionally, the teams of the two leagues never clashed safe in world Series, match pre-season, or at the time of special meetings not counting for the calendar (for example the Coupe Pearson between Montreal and Toronto. The major Leagues of baseball decided to organize matches inter-leagues in 1995, supporting the competitions between cities located in the vicinity (Oakland and San Francisco, Los Angeles and Anaheim) or between two teams of the same city (New York, Chicago).

Today, the great difference between the leagues is that the American League uses a striker indicated.
