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 with a bat, then running around a series of bases arranged in a diamond shape. The game is played on a field that has four bases, with home plate being the starting and ending point for scoring runs. The team at bat attempts to score runs while the defensive team tries to get the batters out through various methods, such as catching batted balls, tagging runners, or throwing the ball to bases ahead of runners. Baseball is known for its unique elements, including pitching, hitting, fielding, and base running, and is governed by a set of rules called the official baseball rules. It is a popular sport in many countries, especially in the United States, where it is often referred to as “America’s pastime.” The game involves various aspects of strategy, teamwork, and individual skill, and has a rich history and tradition associated with it.
