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 the opposing team’s pitcher and running around a series of bases arranged in a diamond shape. The game is played over nine innings, with each team alternating between batting and fielding.

The batting team aims to score runs by hitting the ball and advancing players around the bases, while the fielding team strives to get batters out through various means such as catching flies, throwing the ball to bases before runners arrive, or striking them out with pitches. The team with the most runs at the end of the game wins.

Baseball originates from various bat-and-ball games played in the 18th century and has evolved into a structured sport with established rules and regulations. It is widely regarded as America’s pastime and is popular in many countries around the world, with professional leagues, international competitions, and a rich history of legendary players and teams.
