The League's commissioner said he believed the online plans currently in place will pave the way for future commercial benefits.
"For most of our history, baseball has been regarded as stodgy and old-fashioned. A dinosaur, big and slow and reluctant to change.
"The clubs' unanimous decision to centralise their internet rights and share all internet revenues may prove to be as beneficial to the health of baseball as the NFL's decision 40 years ago to share its national television money.
"Our ability to make the game convenient and accessible to fans is here today and will grow exponentially in the next decade.
"From the mobile phone to the desktop PC, from Cincinnati to Tokyo, 24 hours a day, our great game is available."
Bud Selig has described Major League Baseball's internet strategy as the key to its success as it looks to shore up its long-term future.
