Season ended due to players' strike
[citation needed ]
On July 8, shortstop John Valentin executed an unassisted triple play in the sixth inning of a game against the Seattle Mariners —Valentin caught a line drive, touched second base, and tagged the runner coming from first base.[ 11] Alex Rodriguez made his major league debut in the same game, going hitless in three at bats.[ 11]
This was the first season that the American League was structured with three divisions, with a realignment creating the AL Central . As a result, the AL East was reduced from seven teams to five. With three divisions, this was scheduled to be the first season with a wild card team advancing to the postseason. However, due to a players' strike , the season ended in August, and there was no postseason.
