28 US MLB teams

Pre, In-game, Post
MLB saw an incredible resurgence in the heartland last year. Home towns like Detroit, Cleveland and Kansas City had history 
breaking ratings. It proves it’s anyone’s game to win, just ask the Pirates. In 2014, every team in the nation will put their gloves down 
to applaud fellow immortal Derek Jeter, even after he has beat‘em all. Whether this is the year of pitching vs. hitting, the year teams 
make their mark by shutting out a series or winning it in a ‘rubber match’, to players redeeming themselves and 
to rookies hitting it out of the park, nothing fits like a hand in a glove like baseball & America.

Whether this is the year of pitching vs. hitting, the year teams make their mark by shutting out a series or winning it in a ‘rubber match’, to players redeeming themselves and to rookies hitting it out of the park, nothing fits like a hand in a glove like baseball & America.
