Abbreviation: MLB

Major League Baseball (MLB) has 30 teams, which are divided into National League and american league, among which National League (NL) has 16 teams and american league (al) has 14 teams. The two leagues are divided into three divisions: Eastern Division, Central Division and Western Division. Of all the 30 teams in Major League Baseball, 65,438+0 are from neighboring Canada (toronto blue jays), and the remaining 29 are local teams.

National leagues (16 teams):

Competition system: It is divided into regular season and playoffs, and the season usually lasts from April to 10 every year. In 2000, several regular-season games moved to Japan outside the United States, which was a great commercial success for Major League Baseball to open the Japanese market where professional baseball has developed quite well, and also opened the Asian market with great potential. During this period, Major League Baseball teams not only held their own regular season, but also played exhibition games with the Japanese All-Star team.

1. Regular season: Under normal circumstances, each team of 30 teams plays 162 regular season games every season. Before 1997, there was no confrontation between the teams of the League of Nations and the American League. After 1997, this situation has been improved, and "inter-league games" have been started between leagues. Every team has 15 inter-league games in every regular season. Among them, the most striking is "Three Derby (Same City) Wars": 1, "Windy City Wars", in which bears and white socks in the same windy city fight; 2. "Bay Area Wars", there are Oakland athletes and San Francisco giants in the California Bay Area; 3. In Subway War, two soldiers in new york are fighting.

In the regular season, if the two teams are tied after playing 162 games, they must play 1 play-offs before they can participate, so there may be a phenomenon of 1 team playing 163 games in the regular season. So, is it possible not to play the game of 162? The answer is yes. 1994, the labor conflict caused by the player's demand for higher wages led to the player's strike. At that time, it was called "The Struggle between Millionaires and Billionaires", and only two-thirds of it was completed that season.

Second, the playoffs:

1, divisions (first round of the playoffs): the two leagues each produce four teams. The way is: according to the record of the regular season 162, the champions of the next three divisions of the league will enter the division series directly, and the fourth team will take part in the competition with "wild cards", and this team is the best in the league. Four teams play against each other. The team with the best record in the league plays against the fourth team, and the second team plays against the third team. Adopt the best of five games system to produce two winning teams.

2. League champion. In the first round, the two winning teams competed for the best of the seven league titles, and the winner was the league champion (somewhat similar to the league champion of the East-West League in NBA).

3. In the World Series, the league champions of American League and League of Nations played the last battle of best of seven games (similar to NBA Finals), and the champion was crowned as the last champion of Major League Baseball.
