Major League Baseball comprises 30 teams, divided equally into two leagues - the National League (NL) and the American League (AL). Each league consists of three divisions, with five teams in each. The NL and AL operate under slightly different rules, including the designated hitter (DH) position which is used in the AL but not the NL.
MLB's regular season typically spans from late March to early October, with each team playing 162 games.

Besides the on-field action, MLB also oversees various other aspects of professional baseball such as player contracts, rulebook, umpire assignments, and disciplinary actions. The league has a rich history, including legendary players, iconic stadiums, and memorable moments, which have made it a beloved pastime for millions of fans.
