		When the National League placed a team in New York (the Mets) as its tenth franchise, the American League announced plans to place an expansion team in Los Angeles, to begin play in 1961.

		Of course, no team had ever faced the Angels in that situation.” (It should be noted that at that time, the team with home field advantage played the first two games on the road before hosting the final three games at home---something that was changed following the 1984 season.
