Note: The American & National League voted in 1995 to split into 2 divisions.
Within each division managers were grouped together based on thier proximity to each
other. The benefit being with an unbalanced schedule, less traveling distance to complete
games. It soon became apparent that this setup could allow a weaker team to make the
playoffs over a stronger team if the stronger team was in a much stronger division. It was
decided for 1996 that the league would return to a 2 league system with no divisions.
