National League

The 'National League (or: National League of Professional Baseball Clubs) was founded on February 2, 1876 and is the older of the two leagues constituting Major League Baseball in the USA and Canada. It is also known as the Senior Circuit, based on the fact that it has existed 25 years longer than the rival American League. The regular season champions of the two leagues have met annually in the World Series since 1903, with the exception of 1904 and 1994. Through the 2005 season, National League teams have won 41 and lost 60 of the 101 World Series played, although the Nationals have a rather better percentage of 28 and 34 in Series where the New York Yankees were not involved.
