Baseball in the United States

Major League Baseball is the highest level of baseball in the United States. Baseball is one of the most popular sports in the U.S. for both participants and spectators and has been considered a national pastime since the late 19th century. MLB's World Series is the culmination of professional American baseball's postseason each October. It is played between the winners of MLB's two leagues, the American League and the National League. Prior to the World Series, the winner of each league is determined in a best-of-seven playoff called the League Championship Series, in which one team in each league comes away with their league's pennant; the winner of the American League Championship Series receives the American League Pennant, and the winner of the National League Championship Series receives the National League Pennant. Six teams from each league compete in the postseason.
