Banner Ceremonies

All teams with banners being added to their stadiums traditionally hold banner ceremonies. In these ceremonies the banners are put up, the team do a bit of a parade, and there’s generally some music and other frivolity. As a reminder, banners are given for division titles, conference titles, and, of course, World Series titles. This is always a good opportunity to list the winners of previous years in each of these categories. In bold are this year’s winners, and thus holders of this year's banner ceremonies.

We had a couple of first time division winners, which is always nice!
