WRONG!!! you are WRONG!! The american league does not have the Chicago Cubs. Granted the AL does have some very good teams like the Indians(gave the Sox a whoopin recently) but then you can't see them play from the bleachers at Wrigley field. They are lucky to play in the other league soes they get spared the mighty bat of Sammy Sosa.
