What is the difference between the American and National League?

They are the two leagues that make up MLB, each with 15 clubs split into East, Central and West divisions. Their champions meet in the World Series.

Nine innings, with extra innings added if the score is tied. Each team gets three outs per half-inning.

Why are baseball fields different sizes?

Championships won by that franchise, including any won under an earlier name or in another city.
