Don't Monkey Around: It's the American League!
For those who bleed orange and black (the official colors, by the way, not some kind of Halloween costume gone wrong), this might seem like a no-brainer. But hey, there's always a new generation of baseball fans coming up, and with all the trades and free agency movement these days, things can get confusing faster than you can say "Casey at the Bat" (another great baseball reference, for those keeping score at home).
So, let it be known far and wide: The Detroit Tigers are proud members of the American League (AL), and have been since their roaring debut in 1901. That's right, they were there before sliced bread, the internet, and even the concept of a "walk-off home run" (although they've probably hit a few of those in their time, too).
QuickTip: Look for repeated words — they signal importance.
A League of Their Own (Well, Kinda)
The American League is one of the two major leagues in Major League Baseball (MLB), the other being the National League (NL). Think of it like cats and dogs – they might share the same ballpark (MLB), but they don't always play nice together (interleague games are a thing, but that's a story for another day).
The AL is known for its designated hitter (DH) rule, which allows a non-pitcher to bat in the pitcher's spot in the lineup. This strategy-shifting twist might be why the Tigers have always brought the heat in the AL, racking up an impressive four World Series titles and 11 American League pennants.
Tip: Skim once, study twice.
