Baseball has been a huge business in America since the 1860s, bringing in billions of dollars annually. According to Phil Wrigley, "baseball is too much of a sport to be a business and too much of a business to be a sport."
Major League Baseball (MLB) is the oldest of the four major professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada, with 30 teams divided equally between the National and American Leagues. Both leagues were formed separately in 1876 and 1901 respectively, but merged into one organization in 2000. She also oversees Minor League Baseball, which has 240 MLB-affiliated teams.
The first MLB baseball team, the Cincinnati Red Stockings, was founded in 1869. Currently, the only Canadian team is the Toronto Blue Jays. The rest are in the states. Teams play 162 matches per season.
Among all sports leagues in the world, MLB records the highest attendance season with millions of viewers. MLB player salaries also continue to rise, as evidenced by the top 36 players each earning at least $20 million. The minimum salary a club can pay an MLB player for a full season is $300,000.
Our list of 23 MLB players and their cars proves that not only are these guys talented and driven, they're also bringing home some serious money.

When he's not playing or training, Brock drives around in his custom black Jeep Wrangler, which he bought and sent straight to the auto shop for tuning.
