The Arizona Diamondbacks, who had four minor league teams make the playoffs, also can brag of three league champions, including winners at the top two levels.
Triple-A Reno won the Pacific Coast League and Double-A Mobile the Southern League. Missoula took the title in the Rookie-level Pioneer League.
No other major league organization has more than one champion in a U.S.-based minor league.
