The All-Senria Baseball League (Senrian: hangul, Zensenryuu Yakyuu Renmei), or ASBL, is the top-level professional baseball league in Senria. Formed in 1936, the league consists of twenty-four teams divided into two leagues and four divisions as of 2022.
Baseball was established in Senria by 1900, with small collegiate leagues emerging in the 1910s and the first efforts to organize professional teams occurring in the 1920s; however, the Senrian Revolution and Great War disrupted the professionalization process, contributing to the ASBL's late founding when compared to the Rizealand Baseball League and Arucian Baseball League. The ASBL was established with eight teams in 1936... [split into leagues in the 50s when the league jumps from 8 teams to 12, then the leagues split into divisions in the 60s when it goes from 12 teams to 16; it expands to 20 in the 80s and 24 in the 2000s]

Origins
[arrival of baseball in senria and its establishment as widespread and popular by 1900]
[collegiate leagues begin appearing in the 1910s, but then the senrian revolution disrupts things]
[efforts to establish professional teams and barnstorm in the asterias appear in the 1920s, but then the great war disrupts things]
Establishment and early years
[30s - initial eight are the reds/foxes, sparrows/dragons, white lions, falcons/giants, tigers, stars, steelworkers, whales, only the senrian series w/ top two teams for the post-season; gov't-supported as a sign of a "return to normalcy" after years of war, a lot of intranational barnstorming as bread-and-circuses for the weary senrian masses]
[40s - things settle down]
Initial expansion
['52 expansion - blues/bears, mariners, unions/eagles, oxen; ASBL divided into ocean & mountain, with implementation of interleague play to try and keep lucrative rivalry matchups intact even as rivals are put in different leagues, postseason changed to top teams from each league going to the series]
['60 expansion - pheasants, stags, clippers/seagulls, ravens; leagues divided into divisions, designated hitter rule implemented in the ocean league, postseason now sees series between top division teams to determine which team from each league heads to the series]
The "Troubled 1970s"
[1970s - a match-fixing scandal in '72 shakes fan faith; turns out a lot of teams are actually not doing great financially; and the mariners and whales fold, forcing the promotion of minor league teams koriyama and toyotori to keep the roster full; the tukayama oxen move to isikawa to invent a lucrative cross-town rivalry with the foxes, which kills the nisiyama giants financially, which forces the promotion of minor league team sekiguti; the stars abandon ubeyama in the hopes of capturing the abandoned nisiyama & tukayama markets]
[to stop any further bullshit in this regard, the league finally implements revenue sharing in 1979]
Return to growth
[80s mostly recovering from the 70s, bar the designated hitter rule being implemented league-wide; expansion only resumed in '87 with the stallions, sea lions, timberwolves, and tanuki]
[90s are keeping it steady]
Recent history
[2006 expansion - phoenixes, warriors, otters, hares]
[2010s and 2020s - schedule tweaked, for the postseason the top two teams in each division now play each other to see who goes to the league championship]

Regular season
[team schedules organized into smaller 3-game series, generally grouped into homestands (2 or 3 series where the team plays at home) and awaystands (2 or 3 series where the team plays away); each team plays 15 games total - or 5 series - against every other team in its division, 9 games - or 3 series - against every other team in the same league but not the same division, 3 games - or 1 series - against every other team in the other league, and an additional 3 games - or 1 series - against each team's "natural rival" in the other league, for a 168 game standard season; probably implemented in the 2010s as a refinement of a system implemented with the 2006 expansion which itself is based ultimately on the systems implemented in the 50s and 60s expansions]
[the season typically begins in late september or early october (as senria is southern hemisphere) and ends in late march or early april, with doubleheaders used - if sparingly compared to the arucian and rizealander leagues - to account for holidays and the possibility of rainouts; most weeks a senrian team will play every day but monday]
Postseason
[post-season held in late april or early may; the two best teams from each division play each other in a five-game series to determine who wins each division, then the winners from each division play each other in another five-game series to see who wins the league pennant]
[then the winning teams from each league play each other in the seven-game all-senria championship series to determine who is champion; some prattling on about the series here since the "championship" section is just the table of champions, things like which teams and leagues are the winningest and how they try to handle home field advantage]
Off-season
