Here are the final results and standings in 2011 for the Harmon Killebrew Award, which distinguishes the team holding the American League traveling
prize.

For winning the American League pennant in 2010, the Texas Rangers were granted the Killebrew as a starting point. But the Rangers made it much more than a starting point. They made the Killebrew almost their own private possession, dominating the competition all year.
The Rangers began the year with three title defenses, then won four more titles to hold the prize for 52 days. And, when the Killebrew got away from them, they took it back in the end with their American League Championship Series victory over the Detroit Tigers.
With 12 title defenses in 16 tries, the Rangers were all but unstoppable. The Tigers and Angels both were strong with the Killebrew in 2011, but, if you put them both together, they would have been barely as accomplished as the Rangers.
