Major League Baseball is a league consisting of 30 professional baseball teams divided into two "leagues" which are named the "American League", which has 14 teams, and the "National League", which has 16 teams. Each of these smaller leagues is further divided into three divisions: East, West, and Central.

Major League Baseball is the highest level of professional baseball in North America. Below it are several other leagues, such as the "International League" and the "Southern League", which typically have teams in smaller cities and towns throughout the US and Canada. The Major League teams use these other leagues as "feeder teams", allowing them to give their younger players some experience before they are ready to play at the highest levels.
