The American League of Professional Baseball Clubs, or simply the American League (AL), is one of two leagues that make up Major League Baseball (MLB) in the United States and Canada. It developed from the Western League, a minor league based in the Great Lakes states, which eventually aspired to major league status. It is sometimes called the Junior Circuit because it claimed Major League status for the 1901 season, 25 years after the formation of the National League (the "Senior Circuit").
At the end of every season, the American League champion plays in the World Series against the National League champion; two seasons did not end in playing a World Series. Through 2015, American League teams have won 64 of the 111 World Series played since 1903, with 27 of those coming from the New York Yankees alone. The 2014 and 2015 American League champions are the Kansas City Royals. The New York Yankees have won 40 American League titles, the most in the league's history, followed by the Philadelphia/Kansas City/Oakland Athletics (15) and the Boston Red Sox (13).

Blue Jays' Josh Donaldson named American League MVP
Started out with nothing except the urge to play
Just me and my big ego gonna make it big one day
I never had the money. I didn't have a car
I had to bust my ass at work to save for my guitars
Born a Canadian
Didn't come from the USA
The odds are all against me. nobody will defend me
From bogus bands with cash who just can't play
American luck
Too bad we're Canucks
People think I'm famous but the thought is just absurd
I've made a lot of albums but I don't think that you've heard
If I was American I guess I'd be a star
A victim of the Great White North, completely battlescarred
I've never been a big shot but the fact is that I've tried
We've seen our name in lights but we're never satisfied
Don't live a life of luxury but hold on to your hopes
