MLB
Major League Baseball (MLB) is a professional baseball league and is the oldest among the four major sports leagues in the United States and Canada. It consists of 30 teams, split evenly between the National League (NL) and the American League (AL), with 15 teams in each. The NL was established in 1876 and the AL in 1901 as independent organizations. Starting in 1903, the two leagues worked together while remaining separate until they officially merged into one entity under the leadership of the Commissioner of Baseball in 2000. MLB also governs Minor League Baseball, which includes 256 teams that are affiliated with the Major League teams. Additionally, MLB collaborates with the World Baseball Softball Confederation to organize the World Baseball Classic, an international tournament.

But Thursday, when he homered in the second inning off Clayton Kershaw for the only run in the Rockies’ 3-1 loss to the Dodgers at Coors Field, the only number that mattered was five. That is, five toes of the right foot, pointed in the right direction.

DENVER -- The Coors Field skies opened at the exact time Wednesday night to blind and flummox Rockies second baseman Thairo Estrada and first baseman Michael Toglia, and swallow whole what had been a strong outing from rookie pitcher Chase Dollander. Dollander was one pitch from six scoreless innings in his first career start against the Dodgers when his good works were washed away on a two-run, lost-in-the-sky Max Muncy single in the Rockies’ 8-1 loss.
