There were more differences between the leagues in those earlier years. The active roster limit was sometimes different; waivers rules were different in each league at times; for a number of years the two leagues had different rules on tie-breaking playoffs. There were also small differences at times in how each league handled when lights could be turned on in a ballpark.
