The MLB, or Major League Baseball, is a significant sports championship in the US, even though it may not be as popular as basketball or football. Baseball, played by two teams with a bat and ball, is a fundamental part of many American childhoods, hence why it's often referred to as America's national pastime. The sport also symbolizes the American dream pursued by many. While baseball's influence is expanding to other countries, particularly in Asia and Latin America, it continues to be a crucial component of America's national identity. Notable athletes from this sport include Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, Mickey Mantle, Bo Jackson, and Ted Williams.
