Professional teams past present

Major League Baseball has existed since 1903 and is a professional baseball league that consists of teams in Canada and the US. This entity runs the American League. They have an organizational structure that allows them to run and organize both leagues.

The league’s rules and structure are based on a constitution that has existed ever since 1876. In 1876, it was called the NL constitution then they called the Major League Baseball Constitution. The last revision of this constitution was in 2005. The constitution says that the commissioner hires and maintains the umpires and negotiates with the players, the marketers and the TV contracts.

Though the United States does not usually allow monopolies, Major League Baseball is allowed to be a monopoly. There are no competing professional baseball leagues in the United States. It is allowed to be a monopoly because the US Supreme Court ruled in 1922 that MLB is not interstate commerce.

MLB has a production/multimedia and it called MLB Advanced Media. It maintains the MLB. com website and all 30 of the individuals’ teams’ websites. The charter says this wing is independent of the league as far as editorial control. It is under the same ownership group and revenue-sharing group of MLB. MLB has also a production wing that focuses on video and broadcast call MLB Productions.

MLB has two leagues and there are 30 teams in the whole league. The National League is the oldest league and has 16 teams. The AL has 14 teams. The leagues do not have the same number of teams because of they did, they would have to play interleague games every day. They would like to have some rest days. Each league has three divisions based mostly on geography. The leagues are the NL East, the NL Central, the NL West, the AL East, the AL Central and the AlL West.

A team’s regular season is 162 games, a duration that has lasted in both leagues since 1962. From 1904 to 1962, one season had 154 games. There were only 7 opponents that a team could play against and you played 22 games against each opponent. The number of games was changed in 1962 because the number of opponents expanded. You now had 9 opponents with 18 games against each opponent. This changed again when more interleague games were allowed, but the number of games stayed the same.
