		The '''American Football League is the only league in North American pro sports ever to have merged with another and have all its teams continue to exist, unlike the AAFC (or in a different sport and later era, the World Hockey Association merger with the National Hockey League/).
		In an early attempt by the established NFL to disrupt the new league, Winter and the Minnesota group were lured away from the so-called "Foolish Club" and promised a franchise in the older league.
		Further, the league championships were evenly divided: five were won by Western Division teams, five by the Eastern Division; and of the original eight teams, all but two won at least one AFL title, and only one did not make the playoffs at some time during the league's ten-year existence.

		The American Football League was a professional league of American football which operated from 1960 to 1969.
		Of all the leagues that have attempted to challenge the dominance of the NFL, it was the only one to be truly successful.
		The AFL benefited from having been formed just at a time when professional football was beginning to catch up with (and eventually, in the 1960s, overtake) baseball as the most popular spectator team sport in the United States.

	American League \| BaseballLibrary.com
		The American League was the brainchild of Ban Johnson, the president of the Western League, which was the strongest minor league in the 1890s.
		By 1900 it was renamed the American League, and in 1901 it went into open competition with the National League, the only other major league at the time.
		The American League based its popularity on its contrast to the rowdyism of the National League, with Johnson especially noted for his strong support of the league's umpires.

		In an early attempt by the established NFL to disrupt the new league, Winter and the Minnesota group were lured away from the so-called "Foolish Club" and promised a franchise in the older league, which eventually became the Minnesota Vikings.
		The American Football League took advantage of the burgeoning popularity of football by locating teams in major cities that lacked NFL franchises, and by using the growing power of televised football games (bolstered with the help of major network contracts, first with ABC and later with NBC).
		The Canadian Football League, since the 1940s, had "wild cards" make the playoffs, and the AFL was the first American professional league to follow that format.

		Although the league was struggling to stay in the business for its first decade, the NHL teams were very successful, winning the Stanley Cup seven out of its first nine years (with one having been cancelled because of the Spanish Flu epidemic hitting Seattle).
		It was one minor league, the Western Hockey League, and its plans to turn itself into a major league and challenge for the Stanley Cup that led the NHL to expand in 1967, 25 years after the formation of the Original Six.
		By then, although hockey remained popular in Canada, the popularity of hockey in the United States, especially the American south, dwindled to the point where many considered hockey to be a "minor sport" among American staples such as baseball, basketball, and American football.

	History of the American Football League - 1960
		The AFL was also the first pro league to have its players' names displayed on the backs of their jerseys for easier identification.
		The 1961 and later cards showed them in their previous year's AFL uniforms, etc., so the cards below, for example, show 1960 photos even though they are actually from the 1961 Fleer set.
		Because another league was in competition for the class of 1961's college stars, the American Football League draft for 1961 graduates was actually held in 1960, with a six-round telephone draft on November 23rd, that saw the Buffalo Bills select Auburn's Ken Rice as the overall first draft pick.
