These four teams were Rome and Osaka of the WL and Cabo San Lucas and Maun of the IL

° in 1917 Nagasaki won IL Asia as an expansion team; a first

---

∞ in 1923 there was a vote to experiment for two years with an 8 division 4 or 5 teams per division set-up.
as part of the agreement it was determined that in 1925 there would be an expansion into the 4 team divisions
creating 40 team leagues. Another vote would be held on the 8 division format.
In 1925 there was expansion as planned into four divisions in each league, based on geographic balance

---

During the Winter Meetings of 1926 the old guard owners desired to eliminate the four division set-up for 1927,
but the newer owners like the increased playoff opportunities and revenue that the eight division plan provides.
as a compromise the owners agreed to a consolidation of divisions from eight to four in exchange
for a wildcard playoff format, with four wildcards so that the eight team playoff format is maintained.
Two divisions kept their original names, Americas and Europe; Two were renamed: Afro-Arabian and Asian-Pacific
It was agreed to test this format for four years

---

Prior to the 1933 season there was great concern amongst the owners regarding the escalating salaries handed out
to Free Agents, so it was determined in an attempt to reign the players in, monitor themselves and avoid any discussions
about collusion, the owners institued an experimental Salary Cap plan beginning with the 1933 offseason and the 1934
season. The initial cap was set at $110 M with a soft cap of $120M and a Luxuary Tax of 15% above this soft cap.
The plan was to stay in effect until the end of the 1938 season and then be re-evaluated

Berlin had a 3-0 lead in the 1934 World Series before losing the last four games to La Paz
