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 for players on the offensive team to hit a pitched ball and run around the bases to score runs, while the defensive team aims to prevent runs by getting batters or runners out. A game is divided into nine innings, where each team has a turn to bat and a turn to field. Fundamental aspects include hitting the ball, running the bases, fielding, and strategic plays. Baseball is known for its historical significance, cultural impact, and is often referred to as America’s pastime, though it is played and enjoyed worldwide.
