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 bases at each corner. The objective is for the offensive team to hit a ball thrown by the pitcher and run around the bases to score runs, while the defensive team aims to get the batters out by catching batted balls, throwing to bases, or striking them out. The game consists of innings, where each team has a turn to bat and a turn to field. The team with the most runs at the end of the game wins. Baseball is known for its rich history and is often referred to as America’s pastime, with a significant following in various countries around the world.
