Had to go look this up - 2001 is the only time that even the top two records came out of the same division. That was the year the A's finished 14 games back with a record of 102-60. 2001, 2007, and 2009* are the only times in the WC era that the top three records even came out of the same league. 2001 Sea 116-46 Oak 102-60 Yankees 95-65 2007 Cle 96-66 Bos 96-66 NYY 94-68 LAA 94-68 2009* NYY 103-59 LAA 97-65 Bos 95-67 *LAD tied for 3rd, so 2009 only sorta counts.
