MLB is made up of two leagues, the National League and the American League, with 15 teams each. MLB has been around since 1876 and is the oldest professional baseball league globally. Some of the most popular baseball leagues worldwide are MLB, NCAA baseball, and Japan NPB. Since then, there have been college, amateur, and professional baseball teams in the United States and worldwide. It wouldn’t be until 1846 that two teams, the New York Mutual and the Knickerbockers, would play the first “official” baseball game in the United States.

In its early stages, baseball was known by many different names, but the term baseball wasn’t used until 1700, according to some people, while others dispute the term was used in 1672 to describe a game known as stoolball.

While baseball has evolved since those days, some central baseball concepts remain. The sport of baseball has been around since the 18th century when people in Europe would hit a ball pitched to them, while the batter ran a circuit of bases after hitting the ball.
