Baseball

Baseball is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams, typically consisting of nine players each. The game takes place on a field with four bases arranged in a diamond shape. The objective is for the offensive team, or batters, to hit a pitched ball and run around the bases to score runs, while the defensive team, or fielders, attempts to prevent runs by getting batters or runners out. The game is played over nine innings, where each team alternates between batting and fielding. Key elements of baseball include pitching, hitting, base running, and fielding. It is known for its strategic depth and statistical analysis, and it has a significant cultural and historical impact, particularly in the United States, where it is often referred to as “America’s pastime.”
