P.S. If this is the wrong forum for this question, please refer me to the right place. Thanks!
First let me say that the best way to learn the game is to play with it. Use it like a toy. Experiment with the settings. Do you want to play historical or modern? Are you interested in playing a season, career, or just individual games? Do you want to draft historical players to comprise your team? The game is so vast that it is difficult to help without understanding what you want to do.

One more thing, watch the videos, and and read the manual. The game is daunting unless you decide how you want to play it. Once you make that decision then ask specific how do I do this questions. This is not a pick it up and master it game. It is, in some ways, more about the journey than the destination. As a very first step you might want to just use the single game or single series function. That is probably the easiest way to just play a game of baseball.
