Baltimore Orioles	Boston Red Sox
Chicago White Sox	Cleveland Indians
Detroit Tigers	Kansas City Athletics
New York Yankees	Washington Senators

Brooklyn Dodgers	Chicago Cubs
Cincinnati Redlegs	Milwaukee Braves
New York Giants	Philadelphia Phillies

Also, there was a lot less team-to-team trading of players.
Mickey Mantle was a Yankee and Sandy Koufax was a Dodger. Period.

This image must be dated from between the start of the 1954 season and the end of the 1957 season. You will note the presence of the Baltimore Orioles and the Brooklyn Dodgers in the image. The Orioles did not come into existence until after the 1953 season, when the St. Louis Browns moved to Baltimore and became the Orioles. And the Dodgers (and the NY Giants) both moved to California after the 1957 season. Hence, the image must come from the 1954-57 period. Also, the Athletics move from Philadelphia to Kansas City after the '54 season.
