* {{note label|a|a}} Prior to 1969, divisions did not exist in MLB. The Chicago Cubs played in the [[National League East]] between 1969 and 1993 before moving to the newly created [[National League Central]] in 1994.
* {{note label|b|b}} Prior to 1995, only two divisions existed in each league. With the realignment into three divisions and the institution of the wild card in 1995, the Division Series was added. ''[[Division Series]]''.
* {{note label|c|c}} Prior to 1969, the National League champion was determined by the best win–loss record at the end of the regular season. ''See [[League Championship Series]]''.
* {{note label|d|d}} None of the World Series contested before 1903 are recognized by MLB. ''See [[List of pre-World Series baseball champions]]''.
