AL EAST CHAMPIONS BY YEAR



† - The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox finished the 2005 season tied for first place with identical records. New York won the season series against Boston and was awarded the tie-breaker; Boston was awarded the wild card berth. Had a team from another division won the wild card, a one game playoff would have decided the division champion.
