ootball League to the American League for the 1970 season to complete pro realignment Commissioner Pete Rozelle said Saturday night Rozelle emerged with the an nouncement exactly 36 hours after the beginning of marathon meetings by the 26 pro owners Cleveland and Pittsburgh will play in a division with Cincin nati and Houston Baltimore joins a division with Boston Buf falo Miami and the world cham pion New York Jets The third division in the Amer ican League will have Denver Kansas City San Diego and Oakland There was no breakdown given on the new divisions in the National Conference which will include the remaining 13 NL teams The 13 NL owners most likely will reconvene June 1 in New York to take up the matter again The placement of Cleveland and Pittsburgh in the same division is contrary to what the 26 owners said they would do originally Their plan when the realignment meetings began were to move one NL team into each of the three new American Conference divisions All three teams were surprises with only Baltimore the NL champion being men tioned even slightly in specula tion over what teams would shift The teams mentioned most frequently were Atlanta Philadelphia Minnesota and St Louis The realignment was the final detail in the merger agreement between the two leagues which was reached in June 1966 Discussions of the final ar rangement of the 26 teams had gone on for one week in Palm Springs Calif in March and resumed in New York in late April Commissioner Rozelle had promised a solution to the dif ficult problem by Saturday and he delivered beating his self imposed deadline by only two hours Rozelle said financial com pensation was involved in the move of the three teams but declined to say how much Previously figures of $2 and $3 million had been speculated on felt that road game receipts for these three teams might be lower than they would be in the National League until certain new AL stadiums are built so financial consideration was Rozelle said Pittsburgh Cleveland and Baltimore had agreed to the switch at about midnight riday 22 hours before the actual announce ment but the delay stemmed from the attempt to realign the National Conference into two divisions of four teams and one of five The National League has been broken into four divisions of four teams each Baltimore played in the Coastal Division and lost to the New York
