Национальная лига Восток является одним из Главной лиги бейсбола «s шесть дивизий. Наряду с Центральной Американской лигой это один из двух дивизионов, каждый член которого выигрывает хотя бы один титул Мировой серии .

Дивизион был создан, когда Национальная лига (вместе с Американской лигой ) добавила две команды расширения и разделилась на два дивизиона, Восточный и Запад, эффективные в сезоне 1969 года. Географическое расположение Национальной лиги было довольно своеобразным, поскольку ее разделение было больше на север и юг, а не на восток и запад. Две команды Восточного часового пояса, Атланта Брэйвс и Цинциннати Редс , находились в том же дивизионе, что и команды на побережье Тихого океана. Это произошло из-за требований « Чикаго Кабс» и « Сент-Луис Кардиналс» , которые отказались поддерживать расширение, если им не пообещали, что они останутся вместе во вновь созданном Восточном дивизионе.

В эпоху двух дивизионов, с 1969 по 1993 годы, « Филадельфия Филлис» и «Питтсбург Пайрэтс» вместе владели более чем половиной титулов в дивизионе, выиграв в сумме 15 из 25 чемпионатов за этот период. ^[1] Они также были единственными командами в дивизионе, выигравшими подряд титулы в течение этого периода. ^[2]^[3]^[4]

Когда Национальная лига была преобразована в три подразделения в 1994 году, Пираты Питтсбурга изначально должны были остаться на Востоке, в то время как Храбрые должны были быть перемещены в недавно созданную Центральную Национальную лигу . Тем не менее, Braves, желая создать естественное соперничество с экспансией Florida Marlins , предпочли разместиться на Востоке. Несмотря на предложение Марлинов отправиться в Центр, Пираты вместо этого уступили свое место на Востоке Храбрым. ^[5] С тех пор Пираты несколько раз безуспешно пытались вернуться на Восток. ^[6]
