There are obviously some filler teams in there (I mean, they're good, but have no shot at winning this thing).
Teams to Watch:
DH League:
2015 Toronto - not to be lame, since they're a recent team, but that season was super dominating for a perpetually loaded AL
1997 Yankees - Honestly, all the Yankees teams from 1997 to 2005 are pretty good
2013 Red Sox - the Red Sox had some really good teams in the last 15 years
1985 Yankees - Are there decades the Yankees don't have great teams in? (the aughts. everything else is yankified)
Non-DH League:
1902 Pirates - This team completely dominated its league. In 1903 they lost half of their four starters, but for 1902 Pittsburgh was dominant.
1958, 61 Yankees - I don't know which I like more. Actually, 61.
1991 Pirates - I don't think they're quite all-time dominant, but that was a damned good team.
1972 Reds - Big Red! Big Red!
