Here are the final results and standings in 2011 for the Henry Aaron Award, which distinguishes the team holding the interleague traveling
prize.

Big Leagues in Los Angeles
The Henry Aaron Award spent the first three months in the National League, where the competition was balanced, then the second three months in the American League, where the Texas Rangers dominated.
The prize changed hands three times during the interleague period. When the Seattle Mariners took it from the San Diego Padres in a two-of-three decision in San Diego July 1-3, the Aaron was in the National League almost for the duration. From there, the Rangers claimed three titles and turned up five-for-eight in title defenses to hold the Aaron for 29 games, leading all teams.
The Rangers took it for the final time with a victory against the Detroit Tigers in the American League Championship Series. But the St. Louis Cardinals then took it from the Rangers in their seven-game World Series victory to carry the Aaron into the 2012 season.
