Major League Baseball

Major League baseball is steeped in tradition. In fact, the tradition is so entrenched that many fans resent even small changes in rules or team activities. But MLB baseball is like a living, breathing animal that grows and moves and is always on the prowl for some action. Composed of the American League and the National League, there are 30 teams.

Learning the basic rules of the game is not difficult. The MLB rules are published in the Official Rules of Baseball book annually by Sporting News. But the rules are created by the official Major League Baseball association and can be found on the MLB website.

Though the basic rules are not hard to learn, there are so many possible play situations that understanding what is happening on the field can be confusing. Some of the Major League baseball rules try to anticipate unusual occurrences.

For example, do you know when MLB extra innings are played? The rules say a game is normally 9 innings long, but when the teams are tied at the end of the ninth, play continues as long as weather permits.
