 The American League of Professional Baseball Clubs , or simply the American League ( AL ) , is one of two leagues that make up Major League Baseball ( MLB ) in the United States and Canada . It developed from the Western League , a minor league based in the Great Lakes states , which eventually aspired to major league status . It is sometimes called the Junior Circuit because it claimed Major League status for the 1901 season , 25 years after the formation of the National League ( the `` Senior Circuit '' ) .

 At the end of every season , the American League champion plays in the World Series against the National League champion ; two seasons did not end in playing a World Series ( 1904 , when the National League champion New York Giants refused to play their AL counterpart , and 1994 , when a players ' strike prevented the Series ) . Through 2017 , American League teams have won 65 of the 113 World Series played since 1903 , with 27 of those coming from the New York Yankees alone . The New York Yankees have won 40 American League titles , the most in the league 's history , followed by the Philadelphia / Kansas City / Oakland Athletics ( 15 ) and the Boston Red Sox ( 13 ) .

 The 2017 American League champions are the Houston Astros .

 History ( edit )

 Main article : History of the American League Teams of the American League , 1903

 Originally a minor league known as the Western League , the American League later developed into a major league after the American Association disbanded . In its early history , the Western League struggled until 1894 , when Ban Johnson became the president of the league . Johnson led the Western League into major league status and soon became the president of the newly renamed American League . Babe Ruth , noted as one of the most prolific hitters in Major League Baseball history , spent the majority of his career in the American League . The American League has one notable difference versus the National League , in that since 1973 it has had the designated hitter rule . Under the rule , a team may use a batter in its lineup who is not in the field defensively , replacing the pitcher in the batting order , compared to the old rule that made it mandatory for the pitcher to bat .

 U.S. President Calvin Coolidge and Washington Senators pitcher Walter Johnson shake hands following the Senators ' 1924 championship .

 Until the late 1970s , league umpires working behind home plate wore large , balloon - style chest protectors worn outside the shirt or coat , while their brethren in the National League wore chest protectors inside the shirt or coat . In 1977 , new umpires ( including Steve Palermo ) had to wear the inside chest protector , although those on staff wearing the outside protector could continue to do so . Most umpires made the switch to the inside protector , led by Don Denkinger in 1975 and Jim Evans the next year , although several did not , including Bill Haller , Lou DiMuro , George Maloney , and Jerry Neudecker , who became the last MLB umpire to use the outside protector in 1985 .

 In 1994 , the league , along with the National League , reorganized again , into three divisions ( East , West , and Central ) and added a third round to the playoffs in the form of the American League Division Series , with the best second - place team advancing to the playoffs as a wild - card team , in addition to the three divisional champions . In 1998 , the newly franchised Tampa Bay Devil Rays joined the league , and the Arizona Diamondbacks joined the National League : i.e. , each league each added a fifteenth team . An odd number of teams per league meant that at least one team in each league would have to be idle on any given day , or alternatively that odd team out would have had to play an interleague game against its counterpart in the other league . The initial plan was to have three five - team divisions per league with inter league play year - round -- possibly as many as 30 interleague games per team each year . For various reasons , it soon seemed more practical to have an even number of teams in both leagues . The Milwaukee Brewers agreed to change leagues , moving from the AL Central to the NL Central . At the same time , the Detroit Tigers were moved from the AL East to the AL Central , making room for the Devil Rays in the East . Following the move of the Houston Astros to the American League in 2013 , both leagues now consist of 15 teams .

 For the first 96 years , American League teams faced their National League counterparts only in exhibition games or in the World Series . Beginning in 1997 , interleague games have been played during the regular season and count in the standings . As part of the agreement instituting interleague play , the designated - hitter rule is used only in games where the American League team is the home team .

 Teams ( edit )

 Charter franchises ( edit )

 There were eight charter teams in 1901 , the league 's first year as a major league , and the next year the original Milwaukee Brewers moved to St. Louis to become the St. Louis Browns . These franchises constituted the league for 52 seasons , until the Browns moved to Baltimore and took up the name Baltimore Orioles . All eight original franchises remain in the American League , although only four remain in the original cities ( Detroit , Chicago , Boston , and Cleveland ) . The eight original teams and their counterparts in the `` Classic Eight '' were :

 original Baltimore Orioles ( went bankrupt and became defunct after 1902 season , not to be confused with the current Baltimore Orioles , see Milwaukee Brewers ) , replaced in 1903 by the New York Highlanders ( became the New York Yankees in 1913 )

 Boston Americans ( became the Boston Red Sox in 1908 )

 Chicago White Stockings ( became the Chicago White Sox in 1904 )

 Cleveland Blues ( became the Cleveland Indians in 1915 )

 Detroit Tigers ( name and locale unchanged from 1894 forward )

 original Milwaukee Brewers ( became the St. Louis Browns in 1902 and the new Baltimore Orioles in 1954 )

 Philadelphia Athletics ( became the Kansas City Athletics in 1955 and the Oakland Athletics in 1968 )

 original Washington Senators ( became the Minnesota Twins in 1961 )

 Background and composition

 `` 21 Guns '' addresses the topic of patriotism . Frontman and chief songwriter Billie Joe Armstrong told Q magazine , in May 2009 : `` It brings up 21st Century Breakdown in a lot of ways , and the 21 - gun salute for someone that 's fallen , but done in an arena rock ' n ' roll sort of way . ''

 According to Q , the song is `` a mammoth power ballad with a chorus like Mott the Hoople 's All the Young Dudes . '' William Goodman from Spin agreed , also comparing the song to All The Young Dudes . Entertainment Weekly 's Simon Vozick - Levinson described it as a `` sensitive arena rock cut that made us think of Toto 's ' Africa ' . While the chorus sounded more like ELO 's ' Telephone Line . ' A Rolling Stone article commented that it `` has a dash of ' Boulevard of Broken Dreams ' to it . '' Spin 's Goodman agreed , writing : `` This track covers a lot of territory in its five minutes , from a solo acoustic guitar ( reminiscent of `` Boulevard of Broken Dreams '' ) to Brian May - worthy electric riffage . But the chorus holds the killer hook , as Armstrong hits highs with his voice in a thrilling moment . ''

 Critical reception

 The song has received critical acclaim . Chris Fallon writing for AbsolutePunk commented that `` it is arguably the album 's highlight , presenting an anti-war ballad that is both monumentally enduring and also sophisticated protest . '' James Montgomery of MTV News described it as `` a cell - phones - in - the - air anthem , starting with more sharply strummed acoustic guitars . '' Colin Moriarty from IGN wrote that the track is `` perhaps the best song on the album as a whole , is a multi-faceted song with a pretty poignant message to boot . '' Jordan Richardson of Blogcritics commented : `` It 's the album 's anti-war hymn , reaching heroic heights with a sleek sort of sappiness that fits flawlessly . The range and sentiment may dishearten those looking for a little more Dookie from their Green Day , but I 've never heard Billie Joe sound so good and so earnest as he pulls his frail voice upwards to knock out some stunning high notes . '' Mayer Nissim gave the song 3 out of 5 stars , writing : `` It combines verses reminiscent of Neil Young 's ' Heart of Gold ' with big power - pop chord changes and choruses that soar in all the right places . The jerky charm of the band 's earlier work may be missing , but there 's still lots to enjoy here . ''

 However , Adam Downer from Sputnikmusic gave a negative review , commenting that `` it sounds like a terrible rewrite of something John Lennon never released . ''

 Chart Performance

 The song debuted at No. 55 on the Billboard Hot 100 , peaking at No. 22 ( becoming their highest peaking song since the 2005 hit `` Wake Me Up When September Ends '' ) , and No. 81 on the Canadian Hot 100 , reaching # 15 . It reached No. 3 on the Alternative Songs chart and No. 17 on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart . Also , on the Billboard Pop Songs it reached # 7 . On the Australian ARIA Singles Chart , the song peaked at # 4 . On the UK Singles Chart , it debuted at No. 100 and rose to # 36 . In New Zealand , the song debuted at No. 23 and peaked at No. 3 in its seventh week on the chart . In New Zealand , it was certified Platinum after 13 weeks on the chart , selling over 15,000 copies . It was certified Platinum by the RIAA . The single was also certified Platinum in Italy .

 Release and Media appearance

 `` 21 Guns '' was released to modern punk radio stations on May 25 , 2009 , although it had already been played on some radio stations , such as KROQ in Los Angeles and 101.9 in New York City . In the radio edit , the song is over forty seconds shorter than the album version due to the bridge being shortened and the intro being taken out . The CD single and clear 7 '' single were released on July 14 , 2009 .

 The song is featured heavily in Transformers : Revenge of the Fallen and appears on the soundtrack , which was released on June 12 , 2009 . It became available for download on the music video game series Rock Band on July 7 , 2009 , along with the songs `` East Jesus Nowhere '' and `` Know Your Enemy .

 The song was featured in episode 6 of The Vampire Diaries . The song is featured in the video game Green Day : Rock Band and is downloadable content for the Rock Band series .

 A live version was also released on 21 Guns Live EP in September 2009 .

 Music video

 A music video was directed by Marc Webb and filmed in Los Angeles on June 6 , 2009 . It premiered on MySpace on Monday , June 22 , 2009 at midnight EDT . A shorter version of the video also exists , which is set to the radio edit of the song .

 It is the third Green Day video to feature touring guitarist Jason White performing with the band , following `` Wake Me Up When September Ends '' and `` Working Class Hero '' . He is also seen briefly in the music videos for `` When I Come Around '' and `` Jesus of Suburbia '' but he is not performing with the band .

 After spending the previous week at number 3 , the video peaked at number one on VH1 Top 20 Countdown on August 22 , 2009 and again on September 19 , 2009 . It also won `` Best Rock Video '' , `` Best Direction in a Video '' and `` Best Cinematography in a Video '' for the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards .

 The video takes place with the band and the album 's two protagonists Christian ( Josh Boswell ) and Gloria ( Lisa Stelly ) taking refuge in a white room after robbing a bank . The police arrive outside the room and open fire through the window , to the couple 's terror . As bullets rain through the room , the band continues playing . Gloria picks up the phone and throws it into a fish tank . As the bullets continue to fly and tear apart the room , Christian and Gloria become calm and walk toward each other , unharmed by the bullets . They embrace and kiss as the room goes dark , recreating the 21st Century Breakdown cover art . As the song ends , the room lights up again , and they are still uninjured . After the room lights up , there are various shots of destruction in the room , including a shot of some of the writing on the walls . The writing includes an excerpt of the lyrics to `` 21 Guns '' , as well as those of the song `` See The Light '' which also appears on `` 21st Century Breakdown '' . The video may represent the meaning of the song in the 21st Century Breakdown story .

 Background ( edit )

 Prior to the 1970s , Dodge had maintained a separate marque for trucks , Fargo , primarily for use outside the United States . After that point , all trucks made by Chrysler were distributed under the Dodge marque .

 Ram Trucks was established as a division of Chrysler in 2010 , as a spin - off from the Dodge brand , and using the name of the popular Dodge Ram line of pickups that is now sold under the Ram banner . According to Chrysler , the Ram Trucks brand will concentrate on `` real truck customers , '' rather than casual truck buyers who buy trucks for image or style .

 The Ram brand was created following Chrysler 's acquisition by Italian automaker Fiat S.p.A. , and the plans called for Dodge switching to an exclusively car - based lineup with all pickup and future heavy - duty trucks by Chrysler being sold under the Ram brand . This started in the 2009 calendar year . The Fiat Ducato cargo van design has been adopted and is sold as the Ram ProMaster in North American markets , filling the gap created when Daimler ended production of the Dodge Sprinter in 2008 . The goal was to increase truck sales `` from today 's 280,000 to 415,000 by 2014 '' .

 Executives at Chrysler have stated their intention to compete in the semi-trailer truck category with Ram , a possibility that is aided by Fiat 's ownership of Iveco and an already available network of Dodge dealers . Even though the Ram trucks are marketed separately from Dodge cars , former Ram Division President Fred Diaz stated , `` Ram trucks will always and forever be Dodge 's . Ram will always have the Dodge emblem inside and outside and they will be ' vinned ' ( Vehicle Identification Number ) as a Dodge . We need to continue to market as Ram so Dodge can have a different brand identity : hip , cool , young , energetic . That will not fit the campaign for truck buyers . The two should have distinct themes . ''

 In April 2013 , former CEO Fred Diaz left RAM to serve as vice president of Nissan 's divisional sales and marketing . He was replaced by Reid Bigland .

 In August 2014 , Ram truck brand CEO Reid Bigland was tapped to lead the Alfa Romeo brand in North America . It was announced that the new head of the Ram Trucks brand would be longtime Chrysler employee Robert Hegbloom , who joined Chrysler in 1986 and had previously been a director for the Dodge brand .

 The Ram brand logo features the head of a ram , formerly the logo used by Dodge .

 Trucks ( edit )

 For specifically foreign - market models ( designed by Chrysler Europe , etc . ) , see below .

 Also note that from 1927 to 1928 , all trucks built by Dodge were actually sold under the Graham name , as that company held the marketing rights at that time .

 Production ( edit )

 Ram utilizes three facilities , two in North America and one in Europe , for the production of its vehicles .

 Warren Truck Assembly , Warren , Michigan , United States . First opened in 1938 , the facility has produced trucks for Dodge and Ram for over 70 years . Near the plant are also the Warren metal stamping plant , Mount Elliot tool and die plant which contribute parts and components to the manufacture of the Dakota and 1500 series .

 The following models are currently assembled at the plant :

 Ram 1500 series , all crew cab and double cab models for the global market are assembled here except for the Ram 1500 Laramie , which is built at both the Warren facility and Ram 's Saltillo Assembly for the Mexican market .

 Saltillo Truck Assembly , Saltillo , Coahuila , Mexico . The plant manufactures the full range of the Ram truck series as well as the DX Chassis cab and ProMaster van . The plant has won numerous awards and has been recognized as the Chrysler groups best truck facility in terms of build quality . The Saltillo stamping plant is also attached to the facility .

 In popular culture ( edit )

 Ram Trucks entered popular culture in an unintentional way on February 4 , 2018 during Super Bowl LII . Their commercial 's use of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr 's sermon `` The Drum Major Instinct '' was quickly and widely panned by audiences , academics , news outlets and social media alike . Of particular concern was its insidious usage of a speech in which King condemned advertising ( `` we are so often taken by advertisers ... those gentlemen of massive verbal persuasion '' ) , to sell more Ram Trucks . Within hours content creators on YouTube had made spin - offs ( `` What Martin Luther King Actually Thought About Car Commercials '' , `` The MLK Super Bowl Ad Dodge Did n't Show You '' , `` What Dodge LEFT OUT Of Their MLK Commercial In Super Bowl '' etc . ) which showed a more accurate perspective of King 's sermon and opinions about advertising .

 Plot ( edit )

 The Power Rangers participate with Bulk and Skull in a charity skydive for the Angel Grove observatory , in anticipation of Ryan 's Comet which is scheduled to pass by in two days .

 Bulk and Skull miss the target landing zone and accidentally land on a construction site where a giant egg has been unearthed . Lord Zedd , Rita Repulsa , Goldar , and Mordant arrive at the construction site and crack open the egg , releasing Ivan Ooze after 6,000 years , a morphological being who ruled Earth with an iron fist before he was overthrown by Zordon and a group of young warriors . Ivan lays siege to the Rangers ' Command Center and incapacitates Zordon , robbing the Rangers of their powers . As the Rangers return to the Command Center , they find it destroyed and Zordon dying .

 Zordon 's assistant Alpha 5 sends the Rangers to the distant planet Phaedos to obtain the Great Power and save Zordon . On the Moon , Ivan usurps Rita and Zedd , trapping them in a snow globe , then sends his Tengu warriors to Phaedos and begins building an army . He uses children to bring his ooze to their parents , and it hypnotizes them into becoming his workforce to dig up his Ecto - Morphicon Titans , twin war machines built during his reign . When Fred Kelman , a friend of the Rangers ' , discovers his father missing , he finds him working at the construction site and discovers Ivan 's plans .

 On Phaedos , the Rangers are almost killed by the Tengu , but are rescued by Dulcea , Phaedos ' Master Warrior . She initially tells them to leave for their own safety , but after hearing of Zordon 's plight , she agrees to help them and takes them to an ancient ruined temple where the Rangers will have to overcome obstacles to acquire the power of the Ninjetti . Dulcea awakens each Rangers ' animal spirit : Aisha is the bear , Rocky is the ape , Billy is the wolf , Kimberly is the crane , Adam is the frog and Tommy is the falcon . The Rangers make their way to the Monolith housing the Great Power , defeating its guardians , and retrieve the Great Power .

 On Earth , Ivan 's Ecto - Morphicons are completely unearthed , and he unleashes them on Angel Grove , ordering the parents to commit suicide at the construction site . Fred , Bulk , Skull and the other kids head to the construction site to save their parents . The Rangers return with their new animal - themed Ninja Zords and destroy one of Ivan 's Ecto - Morphicons . Ivan takes control of the other and battles the Rangers himself . The Rangers lead Ivan into space right into the path of Ryan 's Comet , which destroys him . His destruction breaks the hypnosis and the parents are reunited with their children . The Rangers then use the Great Power to restore the Command Center and resurrect Zordon .

 In a mid-credits scene , Goldar briefly lounges in Zedd 's throne being served by Mordant only to panic when Zedd and Rita appear having been released after Ivan was destroyed .

 Adaptations in other media ( edit )

 Four different video game titles based on the film were released for the Super NES , Sega Genesis , Game Boy , and Game Gear .

 Marvel Comics released a comic book adaptation and a photo comic book adaptation of the film in September 1995 . The comic book was printed with two different covers : one featuring fully morphed Rangers and the other featuring them in their Ninjetti uniforms .

 Release ( edit )

 In its opening weekend , the film earned $13,104,788 , coming in fourth behind Apollo 13 and holdovers Pocahontas and Batman Forever . It ultimately grossed $66,433,194 against a $15 million budget , making it a financial success .

 Critical reception ( edit )

 The film holds a 41 % `` Rotten '' rating based on 34 reviews on the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes , though there is no summarized consensus given for it . Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times thought it was characterized by `` a barrage of spectacular special effects , a slew of fantastic monsters , a ferociously funny villain -- and , most important , a refreshing lack of pretentiousness . '' Thomas lauded director Bryan Spicer for raising the quality of production values for a feature film adaptation of the TV series while maintaining a likable `` comic - book look and sense of wonder '' and wholesome high school characters parents would approve of .

 Caryn James of The New York Times thought that story-wise , it resembles multiple episodes of the television series stringed together with slightly better special effects , and that the result was loud , headache - inducing and boring for adults but that children would enjoy it . James further stated that too much of its running time is spent showing the Rangers without their powers . Roger Ebert gave it only half a star out of a possible four stars , saying that it is `` as close as you can get to absolute nothing and still have a product to project on the screen , '' comparing it to synthetic foods in brightly marketed packaging with no nutritional content . He felt that the characters , with the exception of Ivan Ooze , lacked personalities , and that the scenes of monsters rampaging through the city hearkened back to the worst Japanese monster films . Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle found the fights `` only adequately choreographed , '' called the battle in the climax `` a complete disaster '' and stating that it made no sense in timing , that protagonists were not very intelligent , and the actors playing them unremarkable .
