Chapter 497 You don't need to read the introduction of the major league
Major League Baseball, referred to as MLB.

It is divided into the National League and the American League. Now there are 15 teams in each of the two cold noodles, and they are divided into East, Central and West.

American League:

East: Baltimore Orioles; (poor)
Boston Red Sox; (very rich)
New York Yankees; (super rich)

Tampa Bay Rays; (Lost at Sea)

Toronto Blue Jays; (only Canadian)

Central: Chicago White Sox; (***, Jordan)
Cleveland Indians; (image boycotted by natives)
Detroit Tigers; (unluckiest in the 21st century)

Kansas City Royals; (Little Redbird's good neighbor)

Minnesota Twins; (Cats retired)

West End: Angels of Anaheim; (Japanese favorite, Los Angeles not)
Oakland Athletics; (Brad Pitt played)
Seattle Mariners; (Ichiro Suzuki, Japan 19)

Texas Rangers; (tragic reverse by Cardinals)

Houston Astros; (worked hard to win a championship)

East of the United States: [-]: The predecessor of the Baltimore Orioles is the St. Louis Browns. Yes, it is in St. Louis, Missouri, which is now the king of the League of Nations and the home of the St. Louis Cardinals.

Obviously, they also failed to stay with perfect results.

St. Louis itself is a baseball city, where the fans are the most loyal, loved by the media and players.After all, besides here, which city's baseball team can take away a football team?
This team went from Milwaukee to St. Louis to Baltimore. He is indeed very close to the National League Central, which will be mentioned later.

This team is very old and has a long history and culture. Because it was close to the Washington, D.C., area after coming to Baltimore, it was deeply loved by the local people.Even the President of the United States comes here to tee off every year when the game starts.

Its home stadium, Camden Oriole Park, is known as the pitcher's graveyard together with another alpine team, the Rockies.Hitters love it very, very much because of the climate and things like that.

Of course, fans will also like it very much. Because of the length of the protective net in the direction of first and third bases, fans can get closer before the game and sign more autographs.And the attitude of the stadium staff is perfect. It’s okay if you don’t buy the tickets below. If you want to go down and say hello, you can take a walk around.

The team's main colors are black, orange, white and gray, and they are lucky enough to have four fixed sets of jerseys even when they go out for special holidays.
