The American League added the Seattle Pilots ( who became the Milwaukee Brewers after one disastrous season in Seattle ) and the Kansas City Royals . The NL added the first Canadian franchise , the Montreal Expos , as well as the San Diego Padres .

 A third major league , the Federal League ( FL ) , began play in 1914 and lasted for two years . While the Yankees did not have to contend with direct competition for fans , as the FL chose to place its New York City franchise in Brooklyn instead of Manhattan , the team nearly lost leading pitcher Ray Caldwell to the rival league after the 1914 season . With the Yankees finishing seventh in 1913 and sixth in 1914 , Farrell and Devery sold the team to brewery magnate Jacob Ruppert and former United States Army engineer Tillinghast L 'Hommedieu Huston . The Yankees had rarely been profitable over the previous 10 years , and carried debts of $ 20 @,@ 000 . The sale was completed on January 11 , 1915 , as the pair paid a combined $ 460 @,@ 000 . Ruppert called the team " an orphan ball club , without a home of its own , without players of outstanding ability , without prestige . " The new owners intended to spend freely to improve the club 's talent level and made a major purchase in 1915 , buying pitcher Bob Shawkey from the Philadelphia Athletics . In spite of this , the Yankees ' 69 wins were only enough for fifth in the league . After wearing different designs during the Highlanders years , in 1915 the Yankees introduced white uniforms with pinstripes and an interlocking " NY " logo during games at the Polo Grounds ; this remains their home uniform design today . For road games , the team began to wear gray uniforms with " New York " across the chest from 1913 ; the Yankees still wear similar garb .

 The unplayed second game remains the last American League game to be forfeited . The last National League game to be forfeited was on August 10 , 1995 , when a baseball giveaway promotion at Dodger Stadium went awry , forcing the Los Angeles Dodgers to concede the game to the St. Louis Cardinals . According to baseball analyst Jeremiah Graves , " To this day Disco Demolition Night stands in infamy as one of the most ill @-@ advised promotions of all @-@ time , but arguably one of the most successful as 30 years later we 're all still talking about it . "

 The addition of two more expansion teams after the 1993 season had facilitated another restructuring of the major leagues , this time into three divisions each . Offensive production — the number of home runs in particular — had surged that year , and again in the abbreviated 1994 season . After play resumed in 1995 , this trend continued and non @-@ division @-@ winning wild card teams became a permanent fixture of the post @-@ season . Regular @-@ season interleague play was introduced in 1997 and the second @-@ highest attendance mark for a full season was set . The next year , Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa both surpassed Maris 's decades @-@ old single season home run record and two more expansion franchises were added . In 2000 , the National and American leagues were dissolved as legal entities . While their identities were maintained for scheduling purposes ( and the designated hitter distinction ) , the regulations and other functions — such as player discipline and umpire supervision — they had administered separately were consolidated under the rubric of Major League Baseball ( MLB ) .

 In January 1999 , President Bill Clinton eased travel restrictions and increased cultural exchange between the United States and Cuba , leading Angelos to again seek permission to play an exhibition game in Cuba . Angelos met with Sandy Berger , Clinton 's National Security Advisor , to discuss a potential exhibition . Bud Selig , the MLB Commissioner , allowed for the exploration of the series , though it still required the approval of MLB owners and the MLBPA . The MLBPA insisted on a second game to be held in the United States . A contingent of United States Representatives , including Ros @-@ Lehtinen , Robert Menendez , Dan Burton , Lincoln Diaz @-@ Balart , and Rick Lazio , lobbied Fehr to try to block the series .
