A. The NL was the first league, playing in the late 1800s. A bunch of teams formed the AL in 1900-1901 as a rival league. As baseball expanded, they added teams where it made the most sense. For instance, the Seattle Mariners are in the AL because the old Seattle Pilots were in the AL. In other cases, an area (like L.A.) would already have an NL team, so they added an AL team (the Angels) because they didn't want two teams in the same league so close together. That's why the two Florida teams are in different leagues, for instance.

Has there been any period when 4 US major leagues are in session?*
Q. I'm pretty sure it's some time around now. It can any 4 out of the 5 major leagues, be it the National Football League (NFL), Major League Baseball (MLB), National Basketball Association (NBA), National Hockey League (NHL), or Major League Soccer (MLS). Exhibition/Preseason games, playoffs, and championship rounds are included.So, is the period now?

A. NFL- Regular season week #8 NHL- Regular season has started MLB- World Series and if it goes all the way to game 7 then the season will be over on November 1. NBA- Preseason the regular season starts October 30th MLS- Starting its playoffs and the MLS CUP will be on November 18. If World Series goes to a game 6 (October 31) then all 5 pro leagues will be going on at once. If not then 4 of the 5 will be in session. Also from April to June 4 of the 5 sessions are also going as you have MLB, MLS, NBA PLAYOFFS, AND the NHL Stanley Cup.
