Baseball

Baseball is a bat-and-ball sport played between two teams, typically consisting of nine players each. The game is played on a diamond-shaped field, with four bases arranged in a square. The objective is to score runs by hitting a pitched ball and running around the bases to return to home plate. The team in the field aims to get players from the opposing team out in various ways, including catching batted balls, throwing the ball to a base before the runner arrives, or striking out the batter.

Baseball has nine innings, during which each team has a turn at batting and a turn at fielding. Points are scored when players successfully reach home plate after completing a circuit of the bases. It is often referred to as America’s pastime and has a rich history and cultural significance, particularly in the United States. The sport is governed by specific rules and regulations, and it has various levels of play ranging from amateur leagues to professional organizations, including Major League Baseball (MLB). The game fosters a sense of teamwork and strategy, making it a popular recreational activity worldwide.
