 Major
league baseball represents the highest level of baseball competition in
North America. It includes teams from the United States and Canada. The
major leagues are divided into the National League (NL) and the American
League (AL). The teams of each league are grouped into three divisions
within their league. Every wonder about specific historical events in
Baseball. This site
History of
Baseball has detailed information about every major league team. One
of my favorite sites. In both the NL and AL, the divisions are called the
East Division, the Central Division, and the West Division.In the National League, the East Division consists of the Atlanta Braves, the Florida Marlins, the Montréal Expos, the New York Mets, and the Philadelphia Phillies. The Central Division consists of the Chicago Cubs, the Cincinnati Reds, the Houston Astros, the Milwaukee Brewers, the Pittsburgh Pirates, and the St. Louis Cardinals. If you would like to improve your game visit All About Baseball and touch up on your pitching, hitting and baserunning skills. This site is a must for all levels of play. The West Division consists of the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Colorado Rockies, the Los Angeles Dodgers, the San Diego Padres, and the San Francisco Giants. In the American League, the East Division consists of the Baltimore Orioles, the Boston Red Sox, the New York Yankees, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, and the Toronto Blue Jays. The Central Division consists of the Chicago White Sox, the Cleveland Indians, the Detroit Tigers, the Kansas City Royals, and the Minnesota Twins. I know, it is sometimes tricky understanding the game with all the rules and regulations. This site MLB Rules will assist you in keeping up to date with current rules in a clean easy to follow format. The West Division consists of the Anaheim Angels, the Oakland Athletics, the Seattle Mariners, and the Texas Rangers. The major league baseball season lasts from April (or late March) to October and includes the regular season, the playoffs, and the World Series. Teams play 162 games during the regular season. The team with the most victories in each division becomes the division winner and earns the right to compete in the playoffs. The team with the best record in each league after the division winners also is included in the playoffs as a wild-card team. Each league holds a separate playoff, featuring their three division winners and the wild-card team. These teams are paired and face each other in a series of games. The teams that win the most games in a series earn the right to move on to the next round of playoffs. The final series in the league playoffs determines which team wins the pennant, or championship, of their league. There are several Baseball Stadiums used in the Major Leagues. If you have tickets but would like to see where you will be sitting or if you curious what the stadium you are visiting looks like, visit this site. The NL and AL pennant winners meet in the World Series, and the winner of this series becomes the major league world champion. The major leagues also hold an annual competition called the All-Star Game, which matches a team of NL players against a team of AL players. Baseball fans select the starting players in the game. It takes place during the All-Star break, a period in the middle of the regular season during which teams temporarily rest from competition. Feel free to email me at webmaster@mlbplayers.net
