US Central League[edit]

The united states also had a Central League during the first half of the 20th century, that needs to be somehow incorporated into this article or the term needs to be further disambiguated. Further examples/references can be found on the baseball wiki -- http://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/Central_League, which combines the two together. --Gvsualan 07:41, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Designated hitter[edit]

It is perhaps worth mentioning in this article that the CL doesn't use the DH. Themindset 22:19, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pennant winner vs. playoff winner?[edit]

The article makes a distinction between a "pennant winner" (by which is meant, I presume, the top team in regular-season standings) and the postseason playoff winner; the latter team is the one which represents the league in the Japan Series. But do the Japanese see it this way? In the present MLB system, the league champion, "pennant winner" and World Series representative are all synonymous with the league playoff winner, not the team with the best season record.
