Baseball: America's favorite pastime sport. Throughout the country, baseball, specifically the United States' professional league, Major League Baseball, is a well-respected organization today. Watched as well as played by its fans, baseball has been around before much of us truly realize. The sport was founded in 1869, to be precise. Without its existence, America as a whole, would certainly not be where it is at today.
Major League Baseball is divided into two divisions, the National League and American League. With 14 professional teams in the American League and 16 in the National, the players drafted for these teams are top-of-the-line and hardworking men. They are looked at by many as influential role models, and even heroes by some.
My personal favorite team, the Florida Marlins, are part of the National League, and are currently ranked 8.5 games back as of September 7, 2010. My all-time favorite player in MLB is Hanley Ramirez. He plays shortstop for the Marlins, bats a .303 and currently has 75 RBI's under his belt. Click here for a link to the Florida Marlins website for more information regarding the team.
The Marlins are my favorite too! Although I do like Hanley, Jean Carlo Michael Stanton is my favorite and the future of the organization. he is putting up ridiculous numbers for a rookie. If he keeps it up at this pace he is on track for 40+ Homers next season. Thanks for the post! GO FISH!
