"I understand people think you (Bo Jackson) can hit .300, get 50 homers and have 50 to 75 stolen bases. That means you can be the best baseball player there has ever been. It's your choice. You can be the next Jim Brown in football or the next Reggie Jackson in baseball."
--Reggie Jackson (who never approached those numbers even while sleeping)
The composition of the division has changes as teams have moved around
and other divisions have been formed. Here is how the AL West has looked
over time.
The wildcard entry to the
Major League postseason was introduced in 1994, but AL West teams did not
take advantage until the Mariners took it in 2000. The A's and Angels
followed in 2001 and 2002.
Our sites have always been by you and about you. If
you check
our TV Forums or our Technology & Science forums, you'll find literally thousands of messages from fans
of 1970s TV shows, survivors of hurricanes or aircraft accidents, etc. from all over the world sharing their memories, asking
questions, making comments. Our baseball section is new, but don't let
that stop you from sharing
your memories of the first game you went to, your favorite player, a
now-forgotten stadium, etc. Of course you can also ask questions, post
trivia, tell the world what you think of Barry Bonds, or just read what
others are saying.
