Major League Baseball’s official website (www.mlb.com) requires users to enable JavaScript and cookies to access its content. This step is necessary for security measures implemented by Cloudflare, a performance and security company that provides services for the website.
By enabling these features, users will be able to verify their humanity and continue accessing the site, as seen in the verification process. The requirements are not specific to MLB but rather a general security protocol adopted by the website to protect its users’ information and prevent potential threats.
