If you can’t make it out to the local ballpark, there are still a number of ways to keep up with scores and stats for your favorite teams. Many sports fanatics have started to rely on online sources for their news because of the frequent updates and added convenience, and these great baseball sites are two of the best online options.

Major League Baseball
This one is a no-brainer, but the Major League Baseball site is filled with much more than just scores and game highlights. It offers live highlights from games across the Major League right as they happen, but it also features full, detailed recaps for the serious baseball strategist. The trending topics section shows you what other baseball fans are talking about, and the video page is packed full of exciting highlights (and, of course, lowlights) from the most recent games. You can even purchase tickets to an upcoming game right from this one site.

Baseball Almanac
Baseball Almanac is a site for the baseball fans that fancy themselves more of historians. This online resource is dedicated to preserving the history of America’s pastime, and it features over 500,000 pages of fascinating baseball facts. Browse by players, hitting charts, record books, or even baseball card facts to learn everything there is to know about the history of this great game.
