TV. It is done to accommodate television. They want to give some time for the announcers to introduce things.

So the television networks can get a bounce on the widely used 8:00 pm exhibits on competing channels. FOX and TBS confirm if someone activates the ball sport at 7:fifty seven, they are going to be a lot less in all probability to reveal channels to a special 8:00 software. malicious program Selig is satisfied because via starting up 3 minutes before, there'll be a lot less probability the game will flow previous hour of darkness. he's a genius.

Games usually start at the top/bottom of the hour to allow the players to warm up, to get into their playing positions and to sing the national anthem. TV doesn't televise the first five minutes because some people might think these things before the game are boring. They just want to get to the action such as the first pitch or the kickoff.
