When other countries play international sports against each other,
such as football and cricket, in America there is far greater attention
on the big cities playing against each other. Even if many sports are
played in the US, the most popular American ball games are baseball,
which is the main summer sport, while in the winter American
football dominates.
Both baseball and American football are played in every American
high school and college. The best players are then recruited into
professional teams. The ultimate goal for many young Americans
is to play baseball in the World Series or American football in the
National Football League.

American Baseball
American baseball is divided up into major league and minor league
baseball. Major league baseball is for professionals. Hardly any
players reach the majors without
first playing in the minor leagues.
Many experts say that minor
league baseball has become more
popular over the years because it is
affordable and fans have a better
chance of seeing all the action
as well as the players. A minor
league baseball team nowadays
is nearly always linked to a major
league team. This is so that young
players can be developed and
prepared for the big leagues.
Nearly all players spend at least one season in a minor league.
