National League

The National League is one of the two main divisions of Major League Baseball in the United States. It functions as a professional baseball league consisting of teams that compete annually for a championship. The league has its own rules, teams, and schedule, and the top teams advance to the postseason playoffs to compete for the league title and a shot at the overall World Series. Historically, it has been distinguished from the American League, with some differences in rules and team member choices, but today they operate under unified MLB management.
