Baseball


Baseball a sport played between two teams, each team nine players. It is a bat-and-ball game in which a man throws pitches a hard, fist-sized, leather-covered ball toward a batter on the opposing team. The batter attempts to hit the baseball with a tapered cylindrical bat made of wood. A team scores runs only when batting, by advancing its players primarily via hits counterclockwise past a series of four markers called bases.
