Please... Play Ball

Submitted by ub on

Time has passed by for America’s favorite pastime as Major League Baseball ⚾️ runs out of options for ball games this season.

Major League Baseball is the oldest of the major professional sports leagues in the USA. A total of 30 teams play in Major League Baseball: 15 teams in the National League and 15 in the American League. Originally known as The National Association of Base Ball Players, it was the first organization governing American baseball. The first convention of sixteen New York City area clubs in 1857 practically terminated the Knickerbocker era, when individual clubs privately deliberated on the rules of the game.
