Major League Baseball Team Flags
No long term sport is more popular than that of Major League Baseball in the United States. Establishing roots in the 19th Century, modern fans take vacation from work and travel across the country to witness spring training. The regular season lasts for months with games every day and teams play each other multiple times.
Major League Baseball is made up of the American League (14 teams) and the National League (16 teams). Over 21 million people voted for their favorite players from each team to participate in the 2008 All-Star Game.
Fans wear their teams gear proudly and when the post-season arrives the World Series encompasses entire cities. Everywhere, even on state buildings, team flags are sported for everyone to see.
Hot dogs and home runs are American past times and score true with baseball fans everywhere!
