Los Angeles Dodgers - The Four Great Teams Of The American League Of The West

Major league baseball is composed of several divisions. One of their major divisions is the National League of the West. This division is composed of two teams that have made it to the top 10 World Series Title holders. Currently, they have five members to which two of them were the expansion teams in 1993 and 1998.

Let us get to know these teams by heart:

1. Arizona Diamondbacks - This is one of the expansions of this division that is from Phoenix, Arizona USA. Despite being one of the youngest teams in baseball, they grabbed their first World Series title in 2001. They were also the National League Champions in 2001 and National League Western Division Champions in 1999, 2001, 2002, and 2007. Their star player is Luiz Gonzales. He faced Mariano Rivera, a Yankee pitcher, in the 9th inning, hitting the ball that soared in the left field. This hit won the team their championship title.

2. Colorado Rockies - This was one of the expansions in 1993. They have not won their first World Series. However, they had their first opportunity to fight for it in 2007 against Boston Red Sox. They never had any winnings from the National league nor were Division Championships but they 2- time Wild Card Winners in 1995 and 2007.

3. Los Angeles Dodgers - They is one of the top five teams to win the most World Title series. They grabbed six titles and the last time was in 1988. They have taken into account 21 National League Pennant and one AA Pennant. This team is one of the best teams in this division. They have many Hall of Famers since this team has been existing in 1855.

Nevertheless, they still have an outstanding record for the league.

4. San Diego Padres - This is one of the founding members of the division and has been existed since 1969. They became the National league Champions in 1998 and 1984 and bagged five Division Championships in 1984, 1996, 1998, and 2005-2006. Trever Hoffman was one of the best players and was name as MLB All - Star 6 times.

5. San Francisco Giants - Yes they are the Giants from California USA. They won five World Title Series, the latest was in 1954. They are also one of the founding members of this division. They had this name in 1958 but earlier than that, they were known as New York Giants and New York Gothams. They had twenty National Pennants latest in 2002 and six Division Championship Titles latest in 2003. This team is one of the MLB teams who are hunted by curses, namely the Coogans Bluff and Krukow Kurse. They had one of the most memorable moments in MLB back in 1951 when Bobby Thompson made it.

Los Angeles Dodgers is the leader in terms of standings. Yet all of these teams are all to watch out in every baseball competition as they already made their sound. Hopefully, the Padres and Rockies will grab their first titles soon. In addition, The Giants will soon lift their curse and make it back to grab their World Series title.
