Baseball

Baseball is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams, typically consisting of nine players each. It is played on an enclosed field, known as a diamond, which has four bases arranged in a square. The objective of the game is to score runs by hitting a pitched ball with a bat and running around the bases to return to home plate.

The game is played in innings, with each team taking turns to bat and field. The batting team tries to hit the ball and reach the bases, while the fielding team attempts to get the batters out by catching the ball or tagging the runners. The game involves various skills such as hitting, pitching, fielding, and base running.

Baseball is known for its rich history and tradition, with professional leagues, such as Major League Baseball (MLB) in the United States, showcasing elite talent. The sport is often considered America’s pastime, reflecting its cultural significance and popularity.
