| 1997 | The Brewers, after the Royals turn down the opportunity, become the first major league baseball team to switch leagues this century, moving from the American League to the Senior Circuit when baseball's executive council unanimously approves the shift. The franchise, an American League club since playing one season in Seattle in 1969, joins the Astros, Cardinals, Pirates, Reds, and Cubs as the sixth team in the N.L. Central Division, with the Tigers going from the AL East to the AL Central, taking the Brewers' spot, and the expansion Tampa Bay Devil Rays going to in the AL East. |
