Major League Baseball (MLB) is the oldest professional sports league in the United States and consists of 30 member clubs in the U.S. and Canada representing the highest level of professional baseball. Under the guidance of its ninth Commissioner, Allan H. (Bud) Selig, MLB has experienced dramatic changes including Interleague Play, the introduction of the Wild Card, a more comprehensive drug-testing program, significant revenue sharing among the clubs and a growth in revenue from $1.2 billion in 1992 to more than $6.5 billion in 2010. The last seven seasons have been the best attended in MLB history with each year, including 2010, eclipsing the 73 million mark. In addition, 14 clubs saw double digit percentage increases in their local television ratings. MLB also continued its “Going Beyond” efforts with a variety of new initiatives including participating in the second Stand Up To Cancer telethon, which has raised nearly $100 million for cancer research, and a partnership with the White House and First Lady Michelle Obama to support Let’s Move!, a campaign started by the First Lady with the goal of solving the challenge of childhood obesity. With the recent launch of MLB Network and the continued success of MLB Advanced Media, MLB continues to find innovative ways for its fans to enjoy the National Pastime.
