		Leagues in other parts of the world, notably Japan and Latin America, may have equivalent levels of play (and increasingly draw from the same talent pools), but are typically not included when the term is used.
		More specifically, "Major League Baseball" (MLB) refers to the two top leagues, the National League and the American League, and the joint organizational structure which has existed between them since 1901.
		This structure and the major league ownership of minor league baseball is possible because of a 1922 court decision in which baseball was ruled a local affair and not interstate commerce subject to antitrust law, an exemption which does not apply to other sports.

		But if he continues in his pursuit of the remaining home run milestones -- with 703, he's got Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron in his sights -- he will surely be the point man in what promises to be an ugly, rancorous debate on the chemical perversion of performance.
		Major league baseball players will no longer be drafted out of the Pharmaceutical Fantasy League.
		It was one thing to marvel at a physical specimen just coming into his own in his mid-30s, his hat size climbing along with his home run totals; it's quite another to condone the underground chemistry that placed everybody else at a disadvantage.

		"Major league baseball is not the IOC," McGwire said Wednesday during his first news conference of spring training.
		During his hour-long news conference, McGwire's major revelation was that the most pressure he felt last season came after he topped Maris and had to fend off Sammy Sosa.

		Most of the pitchers Bonds faced in the period between home runs No. 659 and No. 660 (the home run that tied Bonds with his godfather) are not the type of players who can routinely keep Bonds in the park.
		What he did in and for the game of baseball was spectacular, but there will always be doubts in my mind about whether he would have been that good had he had to play against fls.
		While this type of player is abhorred by stat-heads like those at Baseball Prospectus, there’s an added thrill in watching the Robertses of this world play, what with their ability to advance themselves a base almost at will.
