National League (NL)

The National League (NL) is one of the two major leagues in professional baseball in the United States, the other being the American League (AL). Established in 1876, it features teams competing for the championship title each season. The NL is known for its traditional rules, including a designated hitter rule that differs from the AL. Teams in the National League compete for the Pennant, which leads to the World Series, where the winners of the NL and AL face off. The league has a rich history and has produced many significant moments in baseball.
