Default Trivia - Pennant Winners

No fair looking this up - it should be fairly easy, but I find it interesting:

Identify the 9 consecutive seasons in MLB when there was a different pennant winner in 5 consecutive years in one league, followed by 5 different pennant winners in the next 5 consecutive seasons, in the other league.

Shouldn’t it be 10 years? If it’s nine years I have the Pirates in 1960, the Reds in 1961, the Giants in 1962, the Dodgers in 1963, the Cardinals in 1964, the Yankees in 1964, the Twins in 1965, the Orioles in 1966, the Red Sox in 1967, the Tigers in 1968, but I don’t think that’s right because 1964 would have to be combined.

1981 Yankees
1982 Brewers
1983 Orioles
1984 Tigers
1985 Royals
1986 Mets
1987 Cardinals
1988 Dodgers
1989 Giants
1990 Reds

Actually, you can stretch that AL list to six (8 if you don't mind overlap with NL), as the Red Sox won the A.L. flag in 1986, and the Braves won the NL pennant in 1991 (so '1981-86 AL, 1987-1991 NL with no overlap).

This was what I was thinking, and why I said 9 years instead of 10.

You win and have exceeded expectations! This "overlap" concern was not part of the original specifications and therefore not a disqualifier to your extended answer, adding 1986 Sox, 1987 Twins, and 1988 A's.

Considerable extra credit and an A+ grade given!

Somehow, the 1981 Reds should figure into this. They had the best record in MLB and did not qualify for the post season.
