Baseball

Baseball is a bat-and-ball game 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 to score runs by hitting a pitched ball with a bat and running around the bases to reach home plate. One team plays defense by fielding and trying to get batters or runners out, while the other team is on offense, attempting to hit the ball and advance around the bases. The game is divided into innings, with each team getting a turn to bat and a turn to field in each inning. The team with the most runs at the end of the game wins. Baseball is known for its complex strategy, statistics, and rich history, particularly in countries such as the United States, Japan, and Cuba. It is often referred to as America’s pastime due to its significance in American culture.
