Baseball

Baseball is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams, typically consisting of nine players each. The objective of the game is to score runs by hitting a ball thrown by a pitcher and running around a series of bases arranged in a diamond shape. The game is played on a field, which includes an infield and outfield, and is marked with specific lines and areas such as the foul lines and bases.

A standard baseball game consists of nine innings, with each team getting a chance to bat and field in each inning. The batting team tries to hit the ball and run to bases to score runs, while the fielding team attempts to get the batters out by catching batted balls, throwing to bases, or striking them out. The team with the most runs at the end of the game wins.

Baseball is often referred to as America’s pastime and has a rich history, with professional leagues, such as Major League Baseball (MLB), and numerous amateur and youth leagues around the world. The game emphasizes skills such as batting, pitching, and base running, and has its own set of rules and terminology.
