Well, given the fact that the Angels, Seatlle, and Texas have never
EVER made it to the WS, it's obvious the division must be the AL
west and the teams are Oakland and Kansas City, since Chicago
hasn't made it for awhile.  I'm not sure
exactly when they were in, although I believe the A's were there
mostly during the early 70's and Kansas City has appeared two or
three times at least in the late 70's - early 80's (twice against
Philly I think-- they won at least one of those).
