MLB stands for "Major League Baseball". There are two leagues: the American League and the National League, comprising 30 teams total. One team is in Canada, the rest are in the US. MLB has 240 minor league teams, and co-owns the World Baseball Classic tournament. MLB games have the highest overall attendance of any of the four major sports, with attendance over 70 million in a year.
Baseball, historically, has been a battle between pitchers and hitters. There are different era's, where hitters have the advantage for a time, and then (often with small rule changes), pitchers become dominant for a period. Baseball is a very precise sport, with many rules - some of them rather subtle. Fans often engage in considerable debate when a difficult situation occurs. Some players are rumored to cheat, especially pitchers - putting a substance on the ball, for example. There are also 'secret' communications between the pitcher and the catcher, and the pitcher and the dugout - communications that other teams try to understand. Baseball also has an enormous amount of statistics, and fans (and ball clubs) analyze these stats endlessly. In fact many, if not most baseball teams have full-time staff that just analyze statistics to try and optimize each players performance, and to help the coach optimize player rotations. You can find out much more about baseball by reading Wikipedia articles.
There is nothing quite like seeing a baseball game live. As soon as you get to your seat, you feel it. The sounds of a baseball stadium are unique; you can hear so much, even players talking. You can see, and hear, the ball hit by a batter. In fact the whole ambience of being at a game live, hearkens back to an earlier era in American life, when things were simpler, and more pure.
