Liste over American League-vindere

Hvert år bliver et af American League- holdene ligamester og optjener retten til at møde National League-mesteren i World Series . Fra og med 1969 -sæsonen vinder det hold, der vinder American League Championship Series titlen .
Fra ligaens start ( 1901 ) til 1968 blev ligatitlen tildelt holdet med den bedste rekord (sejr-tab forhold) i den ordinære sæson.
I 1969 blev ligaen opdelt i to divisioner ( øst og vest ), hvis vindere mødte hinanden i mesterskabsserien . Mesteren blev bestemt i en serie på op til 3 sejre og modtog William Harridge Trophy , en pris opkaldt efter William Harridge, ligaens præsident fra 1931-1958. Fra 1985-sæsonen varer mesterskabsserien op til 4 sejre (maksimalt 7 kampe).

New York Yankees (40 gange) og Oakland Athletics (15 gange) har oftest vundet ligatitlen . New York - holdet har også vundet flest mesterskabsserier siden 1969 (11 gange). Seattle Mariners er det eneste American League-hold, der aldrig har vundet et mesterskab.

Milwaukee Brewers vandt deres eneste American League-titel i 1982 ( holdet har spillet i National League siden 1998-sæsonen ). Houston Astros er det eneste Major League Baseball- hold , der har vundet både de nationale ( 2005 ) og amerikanske ( 2017 ) titler.

Houston Astros er de regerende American League Champions (3. titel), efter at have vundet Championship Series mod Boston Red Sox i oktober 2021 .
