Hackers posted fake messages on the pages, mocking the teams and the fans.
Some of the messages were humorous, others vulgar.
The San Fransisco Giants, Miami Marlins, Chicago White Sox, San Diego Padres, Washington Nationals, Los Angeles Angels, Atlanta Braves, New York Yankees and Chicago Cubs were all struck by the attack.
Nationals' fans saw a message saying that the team was leaving Washington DC, to move back to Montreal.
On the Marlin's page was a pit bull giveaway, the breed of dog is illegal in the county where the team resides.
The Chicago White Sox, which Obama claims to support, were seen to post a message endorsing Mitt Romney.
All the teams effected have made apologies, and removed the false messages.
No one has claimed responsibility for the hacking, and authorities have not pointed any fingers.
