			The '''National League East''' is one of ]'s six divisions. Along with the ], it is one of two divisions to have every member win at least one ] title.

			After having internal, informal divisions for scheduling purposes during the pre-expansion era,<ref name=bbgtnm>{{cite news \|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=o2MbAAAAIBAJ&pg=6044%2C448338 \|work=Pittsburgh Press \|agency=United Press \|title=Boston Braves go to Milwaukee \|date=March 18, 1953 \|page=1}}</ref> the division was formally created when the ] (NL) (along with the ]) added two expansion teams and divided into two divisions, East and West effective for the 1969 season. The National League's geographical alignment was rather peculiar as its partitioning was really more north and south instead of east and west. Two teams in the Eastern Time Zone, the ] and the ], were in the same division as teams on the Pacific coast. This was due to the demands of the ] and ], who refused to support expansion unless they were promised they would be kept together in the newly created East division.
	==Divisional membership==

			During the two-division era, from 1969 to 1993, the ] together owned more than half of the division titles, having won a combined 15 of 25 championships during that span.<ref>{{cite news\|title=Pirates, Phillies Have Owned the Outgoing NL East Division\|date=September 27, 1993\|first=Gene\|last=Collier\|newspaper=Pittsburgh Post-Gazette\|page=D1}}</ref> They were also the only teams in the division to have won consecutive titles during that span.<ref>{{cite news\|title=Pirates—Phillies: A Rivalry Lost and Missed\|date=July 4, 2005\|first=Gene\|last=Collier\|newspaper=Pittsburgh Post-Gazette\|page=D1}}</ref><ref>{{cite web\|url=http://philadelphia.phillies.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20050707&content_id=1119893&vkey=news_phi&fext=.jsp&c_id=phi\|title=Notes: Phils–Pirates rivalry fading\|date=July 7, 2005\|access-date=January 3, 2011\|first=George\|last=Von Benko\|website=Philadelphia Phillies\|publisher=Major League Baseball\|url-status=dead\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110714103810/http://philadelphia.phillies.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20050707&content_id=1119893&vkey=news_phi&fext=.jsp&c_id=phi\|archive-date=July 14, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite news\|title=Pirates perform rare three-peat feat 4-2\|date=September 28, 1992\|newspaper=USA Today\|page=5C}}</ref>

			When the ] realigned into three divisions in 1994, the ] were originally supposed to stay in the East while the Braves were to be moved to the newly created ]. However, the Braves, wanting to form a natural rivalry with the expansion ], elected to be placed in the East. Despite the Marlins offering to go to the Central, the Pirates instead gave up their spot in the East to the Braves.<ref>{{Cite news\|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1993/09/16/sports/baseball-pirates-relent-on-new-alignment.html?pagewanted=print\|title = BASEBALL; Pirates Relent on New Alignment\|newspaper = The New York Times\|date = September 16, 1993\|last1 = Chass\|first1 = Murray}}</ref> Since then, the Pirates have tried several times unsuccessfully to be placed back in the East.<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://triblive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/sports/pirates/s_742330.html#axzz2YtXG2iD2\|title=Starkey: Pirates in American League' Yes!\|date=June 16, 2011\|work=TribLIVE.com\|access-date=October 4, 2014}}</ref>

Braves National League East Teams Location

The National League East is one of Major League Baseball's six divisions. Along with the American League Central, it is one of two divisions to have every member win at least one World Series title.

After having internal, informal divisions for scheduling purposes during the pre-expansion era, the division was formally created when the National League (NL) (along with the American League) added two expansion teams and divided into two divisions, East and West effective for the 1969 season. The National League's geographical alignment was rather peculiar as its partitioning was really more north and south instead of east and west. Two teams in the Eastern Time Zone, the Atlanta Braves and the Cincinnati Reds, were in the same division as teams on the Pacific coast. This was due to the demands of the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals, who refused to support expansion unless they were promised they would be kept together in the newly created East division.

During the two-division era, from 1969 to 1993, the Philadelphia Phillies and the Pittsburgh Pirates together owned more than half of the division titles, having won a combined 15 of 25 championships during that span. They were also the only teams in the division to have won consecutive titles during that span.

When the National League realigned into three divisions in 1994, the Pittsburgh Pirates were originally supposed to stay in the East while the Braves were to be moved to the newly created National League Central. However, the Braves, wanting to form a natural rivalry with the expansion Florida Marlins, elected to be placed in the East. Despite the Marlins offering to go to the Central, the Pirates instead gave up their spot in the East to the Braves. Since then, the Pirates have tried several times unsuccessfully to be placed back in the East.
