Baseball

Baseball is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams, typically consisting of nine players each. It is played on a diamond-shaped field with 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 divided into innings, with each team taking turns to bat and field. The team that scores the most runs by the end of the game is declared the winner. Baseball is known for its complex rules, strategic elements, and the use of specialized terminology, contributing to its long-standing popularity in countries such as the United States, Japan, and several others. It is often referred to as America’s pastime.
