Baseball FAQ

Who is the greatest baseball player of all time?
Babe Ruth remains the traditional answer, with Willie Mays, Hank Aaron and Barry Bonds central to the argument. Shohei Ohtani's two-way brilliance has added a modern name to a debate that spans a century.
How much do MLB players earn?
MLB's biggest stars sign some of the largest contracts in world sport, helped by the league's lack of a hard salary cap. Recent mega-deals have pushed the ceiling for total contract value beyond anything seen in most other sports.
What is the World Series?
The World Series is MLB's championship, a best-of-seven showdown between the American League and National League pennant winners. Despite the name, it has traditionally been contested by North American teams.
What is WAR in baseball?
WAR stands for wins above replacement, a statistic estimating a player's total value compared with a readily available substitute. It has become the go-to shorthand for comparing players across positions and eras, though its exact calculation varies by source.
