Major League Baseball

Major League Baseball (MLB) is the professional baseball organization that is the oldest of the four major professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada. MLB is composed of two leagues: the American League (AL) and the National League (NL), which were established in 1901 and 1876, respectively. These leagues operate in a system of 30 teams, 15 in each league, and are one of the most prominent and successful sports leagues globally. The teams compete annually for the championship title, culminating in the World Series, which determines the champion of MLB. The league’s governance includes regulations, rules of play, and organizational structure to promote the sport and ensure fair competition. MLB is known for its rich history and significant cultural impact on American society.
