Since 1903, the winning teams of the National League and American League are playing a championship series called the World Series. It is the winning spirit of both the National League and American League teams that make up major league baseball. Little did anyone anticipated that when the Boston Red Sox played their first game ever on April 26, 1901 as a major league team, they would become one of the most popular baseball teams in MLB history. Though the games played during that time were low scoring, the era was named the "Dead Ball Era". Though the legendary pitchers such as Walter "The Big Train" Johnson, Cy Young, Christy Mathewson, and Grover Cleveland Alexander ruled the sport, game solely relied on contact-hitters, bunting, and base stealing for its offense. The popularity of the game came at stake since forty years of batting records began to fall.

Hitting a home runs seldom was seldom a feature of any team many clubs employed security guards to retrieve the balls that hit the stands. The first 20 years of the 20th century witnessed an unmatched rise in the popularity of baseball. The owners of the existing franchise to become more superior and to give more facilities to their teams started building either new ballpark facilities or invested for the enlargement of the existing grounds including Shibe Park, home of the Philadelphia Athletics, Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, the Polo Grounds in Manhattan, Boston's Fenway Park along with Wrigley Field and Comiskey Park in Chicago. Even the rules were changed. One of the most remarkable events that changed f the destiny of the Red Sox was the trade of George Herman Ruth. Ruth's power hitting ability demonstrated a new way to play the game. Following his success every good team boasted of their home-run hitting "sluggers": In 1947, the sport became integrated when Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier after joining the Brooklyn Dodgers. The first team to relocate in fifty years was the Boston Braves who moved to Milwaukee in 1953. In 1958, MLB for the first time expanded its area of influence.
The teams were either moved from their existing leagues or the eligible cities were awarded the franchises. There are very few franchises that are as rich in tradition as the Detroit Tigers. They have always showcased consistency and competitiveness. Overall the Cleveland Indians have had some of the best teams and best players ever. The baseball lost much of its popularity costing the players their stardom due to a strike in 1981 and 1994 and BALCO scandal in 2002. To know more about the sequence of events that have influenced or marred the history of the teams, just click on the team you want to know.

Did You Know
'''Major League Baseball''' ('''MLB''') is the highest level of play in North American professional baseball. It is composed of 30 teams. 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, two leagues were officially disbanded as separate legal entities with all rights and functions consolidated in the commissioner's office.
MLB is controlled by the Major League Baseball Constitution that has undergone several incarnations since 1876 with the most recent revisions being made in 2005. Under the direction of Commissioner of Baseball (currently Bud Selig), Major League Baseball hires and maintains the sport's umpiring crews, and negotiates marketing, labor, and television contracts. As is the case for most North American sports leagues, the "closed shop" aspect of MLB effectively prevents the yearly promotion and relegation of teams into and out of the Major League by virtue of their performance. Private enterprises is mostly funded by Major league Baseball, but also partially funded directly by public taxes. Major League Baseball maintains a unique, controlling relationship over the sport, including most aspects of minor league baseball. This is due in large part to a 1922 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in ''Federal Baseball Club v. National League'', which held that baseball is not interstate commerce and therefore not subject to federal antitrust law. This ruling has been weakened only slightly in subsequent years.
The production/multimedia wing of MLB is New York-based MLB Advanced Media, which oversees MLB.com and all 30 of the individual teams' websites. Its charter states that MLB Advanced Media holds editorial independence from the League itself, but it is indeed under the same ownership group and revenue-sharing plan. MLB Productions is a similarly-structured wing of the league, focusing on video and traditional broadcast media.
