What is MLB?
Major League Baseball (MLB) is the premier professional baseball league in the United States and Canada, comprising 30 teams divided into the National League and American League. Founded in 1903, MLB is one of the four major professional sports leagues in North America and is widely considered the highest level of baseball competition globally. Although baseball is not a mainstream sport in India, MLB has gained a niche following through international broadcasts, streaming platforms, and the presence of Indian-origin players in minor leagues. The league's season runs from late March to October, culminating in the World Series. In Indian competitive exams, MLB occasionally appears in general knowledge sections—especially in questions about sports leagues, global events, or the Olympics (baseball was included in 2020 Tokyo). Being aware of MLB helps Indian students understand international sports culture and enhances their GK for quizzes and interviews. The league also influences Indian sports analytics and fantasy gaming, with platforms like Dream11 occasionally featuring baseball. Though cricket remains dominant, MLB offers an alternative for enthusiasts seeking variety.
