Major League Baseball (MLB) is a professional baseball league, consisting of teams that play in the American League and the National League. The two leagues merged in 2000 into a single organization led by the Commissioner of Baseball, after 100 years as separate legal entities.
MLB constitutes one of the major professional sports leagues of the United States and Canada. It is composed of 30 teams — 29 in the United States and 1 in Canada. With the International Baseball Federation, MLB also manages the World Baseball Classic. With an average attendance of 30,352 people per game, Major League Baseball has the fifth highest average attendance of any sports league behind the NFL, Bundesliga, AFL, and Premier League.
MLB is governed by the Major League Baseball Constitution that has undergone several incarnations since 1875 with the most recent revisions being made in 2012. Under the direction of the Commissioner of Baseball (currently Bud Selig), Major League Baseball hires and maintains the sport's umpiring crews, and negotiates marketing, labor, and television contracts.

I wish time was on our side
But your clock hands have got the best of me
I only hope that when I come back
You'll finally be ready for me
And I hope and I pray that you're sorry
And I hope that you know that I'm sorry
Cos I never thought I would be here
No I never thought I would be here
And I hope and I pray that you're sorry
And I hope that you know that I'm sorry
Well maybe this could be our year
So this is it, I'm coming home
I wonder if you spent this time alone
I'm the only one who cares
Well maybe I'm better on my own
And I hope and I pray that you're sorry
And I hope that you know that I'm sorry
Cos I never thought I would be here
No I never thought I would be here
And I hope and I pray that you're sorry
And I hope that you know that I'm sorry
I don't think this will be our year
I'm going to take the time to remind you
When you act like this, I despise you
I wrote this to let you know
I'm going to use this time to forget you
Cos I wish that I never met you
I wrote this to let you know
That I'm better off on my own
This was never my plan
But I hope that we could become friends
It wasn't you, it was me, I'll take the blame
Well you can go back to hell
Every word you say was a lie, I can tell
It wasn't me, it was you, so here's the blame
As a song in your name
I'm going to take the time to remind you
When you act like this, I despise you
I wrote this to let you know
I'm going to use this time to forget you
Cos I wish that I never met you
I wrote this to let you know
That I'm better off on my own
I wrote this to let you know
