how many games in regular season baseball?

162 per team in Major League Baseball\n\nThere are currently 30 teams in the MLB.  Since each game is played by exactly 2 teams assuming there are no rainouts that are not made up or forfeited games you would multiply 162 games per team by 30 teams and divide that product by 2 teams per game and even though the unit comes out to teams it is really games.\n\nThere are a total of 2430 games played in a regular season of the MLB.\n\nAny regular season ties that require a playoff will have that playoff game count as a regular season game.  So once in a while there are 2431 or 2432 games.\n\nIn 2005 there were 2430 regular season games played.\n\nIn 1995 the teams played a 144 game schedule due to a late spring training that was a result of the previous year's strike\n\nThe last year of 154 games per team was 1960.  That year there were 16 teams in MLB so that year there would have been a potential for 1232 games.  I manually counted them for you and came up with: 1232, they played all the regular season games that year.

It has kept changing over the years, but currently it is 82 games...41 home and 41 away games, plus any playoff games, if they make it.

if it's on yahoo, a player must start 5 games at the position, or play in 10 games at that position.  pitchers must have 3 starts or 5 relief appearances.

When they added the last expansion teams and then resorted the divisions, they had enough teams to have a round schedule for 16 weeks.  The bye week allows the NFL to stretch the season to 17 weeks.  There has been some talk of shortening the pre-season, as most of the stars sit for risk of injury, so it's possible further changes are forthcoming.  I hope so...the season flies by!

It has nothing to do with the World Series.  The season usually starts at the end of March, or early April.  Various games are played on the same day. Recently Major League Baseball has had a season opening game outside of the U.S.  Teams were chosen based on how they would draw in that country.

That scenario would count.  According to the rules (4.10):\n\n(c) If a game is called, it is a regulation game:\n\n(1) If five innings have been completed;\n\n(2) If the home team has scored more runs in four or four and a fraction half innings than the visiting team has scored in five completed half innings;\n\n(3) If the home team scores one or more runs in its half of the fifth inning to tie the score.

There are four 15-minute quarters in an American Football game.\n\nThere are 9 innings in a baseball game, unless the teams are tied at the end of the 9th inning, then extra innings are played.

An NCAA men's basketball team usually plays 30-35 games per season.  Obviously depends how far the team advances in the NCAA tournament and if they play in any tournaments during the season.  A top program like Boston College played 36 games last season.  Hopefully this year, they'll play 40 games ;)

The English Premiership runs from August up to May of the following year. There are 20 teams hence 380 games. There are no play offs since the team with the highest points are the winners.

They should and it would cut out a lot of games in division races.  A team in any division plays another team in that same divison at least 15-20 times a year.  It would be great to see for example the Yanks against the Houston Astros instead of them seeing each other every three years if possible.  \n\nThe downside is the traveling would wear the players down but then again they do play 162 games a year.  Hope you're reading this Bud Selig (needs to go immediately!!!)

15 teams in each league means interleague play all season long.  Not a good idea.\n\nIf you really want realignment, then add two teams.  16 teams in each league works.

You can have a maximum of 40 active players under major league contract at any given time, only 25 of whom are on the major league active roster. The other 15 are either in the minors or the disabled list. \nBeginning September 1 until the end of the regular season you can have all 40 on the major league active roster if you wish (most teams call up a few extra players but don't use all 40)

I like interleague play.  My only complaint is that they should move one of the NL teams to AL, balance out the leagues and then play it like the NFL does with interconference games.  I'm a huge Met fan.  Is it fair when you are battling a team like Florida that they get 6 gms a year against TB and we get 6 gms against the Yankees?  They should have five teams per division per league, have 18 games against division foes and then 6 apiece against everybody else, including rotating interleague play, so that for example everyone in NL East plays everyone in AL East 6 times.

Roto leagues are the ones that started this all. They run season long - instead of being reset each week.\n\nOkay - so we have cumulative stats from the start of the season.\n\nThen, for each stat (ie, HRs, RBIs, Wins, Saves...) the teams in the league are sorted by how they did in that stat. Then they are given points based on that order.\n\nSay you have 10 teams. The team with the most HRs gets 10 points. The team with the least, gets 1 point. Then the team with the most RBIs (might be a different team than the team with the most HRs) gets 10 points and the team with the least gets 1 point.\n\nDo that for all the stats in the league. And then sum up the points for each stat, and that is your roto score.\n\nSo, some days, you could knock in 10 HRs but your score won't change (if it doesn't give you more cumulative HRs than the team ahead of you) or you could knock in 2 and pass  3 teams ahead of you and score big points.\n\nIt is all based on relative performance, across the league. So you kind of need to pay more attention to every team, instead of the one team you're playing against that week. \n\nIt is a unique experience - maybe try a mid-season leagu to get your feet we.

There are 162 games per year for each team (not counting spring training or playoffs) and 30 MLB teams, 14 in the American League, 16 in the National League.

That would put an odd number of teams in each league.  An even number is needed in order for each team to be playing regularly.
