MLB Tickets - History of the MLB

Founded in 1869 (a date that represents the formation of the first professional team and is open to some debate), "America's Pastime" is woven in the fabric of sports culture in the United States. In recent years though, with the rise of Lacrosse, Soccer, MMA and other faster-paced sports, there has been a small backlash with younger audiences who have become frustrated by the pacing and length of MLB matchups. However, baseball is still at the forefront of American culture and I do no think we have to worry about it fading away anytime soon. In fact, the sport has become global over the years, with a huge presence in Asia, the Dominican Republic and many other regions of the World. And every summer, young players are still glorified at the Little League World Series, ensuring that the MLB dream seeds will continue to be planted.

MLB Tickets - The Players

Like most sports, baseball players are ultimately who fans associate best with, emulate and cheer on at the stadiums. One of the most exciting acts in baseball - or all of sports - is the home run. Here is a list of the top ten home run leaders - the players that top this list and have entertained over the years: Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, Ken Griffey, Alex Rodriguez, Sammy Sosa, Jim Thome, Frank Robinson and Mark McGwire.
