Dave says: “Of course the American League is not a “real” league.”

hehe. Why don't you come talk to me about your "league" when your team has won half the World Series that mine has? Oh, perhaps it is difficult to get a good perspective when your team has only been around since 1959? When your team has been around for another 56 years you might have the perspective to understand what a real league is. Heh.
