MLB Room
Major League Baseball (MLB) is the highest level of play in American professional baseball. It is composed of 30 teams - 29 in the United States and one in Canada. More specifically, Major League Baseball refers to the organization that operates the National League and the American League, by means of a joint organizational structure that has existed between them since 1903. Each season consists of 162 games, which generally begins on the first Sunday in April and ends on the first Sunday in October, with the playoffs played in October and sometimes in early November. The same rules and regulations are played between the two leagues with one exception: the American League operates under the Designated Hitter Rule, while the National League does not. Utilization of the DH Rule in Interleague play, the All-Star and World Series games are determined by the home team’s league rules. In 2000, the two leagues were officially disbanded as separate legal entities with all rights and functions consolidated in the commissioner’s office. MLB effectively operates as a single league and as such it constitutes one of the major professional sports leagues of North America.
