Baseball is America’s Game, a sport that knits all regions together in a shared experience.

This week the Atlanta Braves are playing the Houston Astros in the World Series, Major League Baseball’s crown jewel. This ultimate series results from the Braves winning the National League and the Astros winning the American League championships. The title match is the culminating clash of a nationwide baseball competition that is exempt from antitrust laws, the so-called business-of-baseball exemption.
