History of baseball in the USA
In the following decades, the number of teams playing in the National League changed more than once – some clubs broke up, but new ones came to replace them. At the same time, in cities where there were no NL teams , other professional baseball teams were created, which in different years were part of the United Association (Union Association), American Association (American Association), Western League (Western League).
Finally, on January 28, 1901, the “American League of Professional Baseball Clubs” (“American League”, American League, AL) was created – the second professional baseball organization in the United States. After two years of fierce competition between the leagues, parity was established and since 1903 the winning teams of the National and American Leagues have met annually (except 1904 and 1994) in the “World Series” (World Series) – a series of games for the championship title.
In the first decades of the 20th century, baseball gradually became an integral part of the culture of the United States, it was even called “America’s national religion.” The growth in the number of fans attending matches necessitated the construction of several new baseball parks (baseball park or ballpark), among which are the Fenway Park (Fenway Park, built in 1912, the “home” stadium of the Boston Red Sox team) in Boston and “Wrigley Field” (Wrigley Field, 1914 Chicago Cubs) in Chicago.
A characteristic feature of baseball stadiums is the lack of rigid unification of their sizes. Only the parameters of the “infield” (infield, “playing square”) are strictly stipulated, but for the “outfield” (outfield, “outer field”) only the minimum allowable sizes are indicated. Therefore, all ballparks are different, there are “batter” (which is relatively easier to hit home runs) and “pitcher” (more “loyal” to pitchers).
