<P>The <B>American League of Professional Baseball Clubs</B>, or simply the <B>American League</B> (<B>AL</B>), is one of two leagues that make up <A href="/wiki/Major_League_Baseball" title="Major League Baseball">Major League Baseball</A> (MLB) in the United States and Canada. It developed from the <A href="/wiki/Western_League_(original)" class="mw-redirect" title="Western League (original)">Western League</A>, a minor league based in the <A href="/wiki/Great_Lakes_region" title="Great Lakes region">Great Lakes states</A>, which eventually aspired to <A href="/wiki/Major_League_Baseball" title="Major League Baseball">major league</A> status. It is sometimes called the <B>Junior Circuit</B> because it claimed Major League status for the 1901 season, 25 years after the formation of the <A href="/wiki/National_League" title="National League">National League</A> (the "Senior Circuit").</P>
<P>At the end of every season, the American League champion plays in the <A href="/wiki/World_Series" title="World Series">World Series</A> against the National League champion; two seasons did not end in playing a World Series (1904, when the National League champion <A href="/wiki/San_Francisco_Giants" title="San Francisco Giants">New York Giants</A> refused to play their AL counterpart, and 1994, when a players' strike prevented the Series). Through 2017, American League teams have won 65 of the 113 World Series played since 1903, with 27 of those coming from the <A href="/wiki/New_York_Yankees" title="New York Yankees">New York Yankees</A> alone. The New York Yankees have won 40 American League titles, the most in the league's history, followed by the <A href="/wiki/Oakland_Athletics" title="Oakland Athletics">Philadelphia/Kansas City/Oakland Athletics</A> (15) and the <A href="/wiki/Boston_Red_Sox" title="Boston Red Sox">Boston Red Sox</A> (13).</P>
<P>The 2017 American League champions are the <A href="/wiki/Houston_Astros" title="Houston Astros">Houston Astros</A>.</P>

In its early history, the Western League struggled until 1894, when <A href="/wiki/Ban_Johnson" title="Ban Johnson">Ban Johnson</A> became the president of the league. Johnson led the Western League into major league status and soon became the president of the newly renamed American League. <A href="/wiki/Babe_Ruth" title="Babe Ruth">Babe Ruth</A>, noted as one of the most prolific hitters in Major League Baseball history, spent the majority of his career in the American League. The American League has one notable difference versus the <A href="/wiki/National_League" title="National League">National League</A>, in that since 1973 it has had the <A href="/wiki/Designated_hitter" title="Designated hitter">designated hitter</A> rule.

<P>Until the late 1970s, league umpires working behind home plate wore large, balloon-style chest protectors worn outside the shirt or coat, while their brethren in the National League wore chest protectors inside the shirt or coat. In 1977, new umpires (including <A href="/wiki/Steve_Palermo" title="Steve Palermo">Steve Palermo</A>) had to wear the inside chest protector, although those on staff wearing the outside protector could continue to do so. Most umpires made the switch to the inside protector, led by <A href="/wiki/Don_Denkinger" title="Don Denkinger">Don Denkinger</A> in 1975 and <A href="/wiki/Jim_Evans_(umpire)" title="Jim Evans (umpire)">Jim Evans</A> the next year, although several did not, including <A href="/wiki/Bill_Haller" title="Bill Haller">Bill Haller</A>, <A href="/wiki/Lou_DiMuro" title="Lou DiMuro">Lou DiMuro</A>, <A href="/wiki/George_Maloney" title="George Maloney">George Maloney</A>, and <A href="/wiki/Jerry_Neudecker" title="Jerry Neudecker">Jerry Neudecker</A>, who became the last MLB umpire to use the outside protector in 1985.</P>
<P>In 1994, the league, along with the National League, reorganized again, into three divisions (East, West, and <A href="/wiki/American_League_Central" title="American League Central">Central</A>) and added a third round to the playoffs in the form of the <A href="/wiki/American_League_Division_Series" title="American League Division Series">American League Division Series</A>, with the best second-place team advancing to the playoffs as a wild-card team, in addition to the three divisional champions. In 1998, the newly franchised <A href="/wiki/Tampa_Bay_Rays" title="Tampa Bay Rays">Tampa Bay Devil Rays</A> joined the league, and the <A href="/wiki/Arizona_Diamondbacks" title="Arizona Diamondbacks">Arizona Diamondbacks</A> joined the National League: i.e., each league each added a fifteenth team. An odd number of teams per league meant that at least one team in each league would have to be idle on any given day, or alternatively that odd team out would have had to play an <A href="/wiki/Interleague_play" title="Interleague play">interleague game</A> against its counterpart in the other league. The initial plan was to have three five-team divisions per league with inter league play year-round—possibly as many as 30 interleague games per team each year. For various reasons, it soon seemed more practical to have an even number of teams in both leagues. The <A href="/wiki/Milwaukee_Brewers" title="Milwaukee Brewers">Milwaukee Brewers</A> agreed to change leagues, moving from the AL Central to the NL Central. At the same time, the <A href="/wiki/Detroit_Tigers" title="Detroit Tigers">Detroit Tigers</A> were moved from the AL East to the AL Central, making room for the <A href="/wiki/Tampa_Bay_Rays" title="Tampa Bay Rays">Devil Rays</A> in the East. Following the move of the <A href="/wiki/Houston_Astros" title="Houston Astros">Houston Astros</A> to the American League in 2013, both leagues now consist of 15 teams.</P>
<P>For the first 96 years, American League teams faced their National League counterparts only in exhibition games or in the World Series. Beginning in 1997, interleague games have been played during the regular season and count in the standings. As part of the agreement instituting interleague play, the designated-hitter rule is used only in games where the American League team is the home team.</P>
