    Uploaded by

    Christian Borromeo
    Baseball is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of nine players who take turns batting and fielding. The offensive team attempts to score runs by hitting a ball thrown by the pitcher and running around four bases, while the defensive team tries to get hitters out in several ways to prevent runs. A team bats until recording three outs, and the team with the most runs after nine innings wins. Baseball evolved from older English games and was brought to North America where the modern version developed, becoming the United States' national sport by the late 19th century.

    Baseball is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of nine players who take turns batting and fielding.

    The offense attempts to score more runs than its opponents by hitting a ball thrown by the pitcher with a bat and moving counterclockwise around a series of four bases: first, second, third and home plate. A run is scored when the runner advances around the bases and returns to home plate. Players on the batting team take turns hitting against the pitcher of the fielding team, which tries to prevent runs by getting hitters out in any of several ways. A player on the batting team can stop at any of the bases and later advance on a teammate's hit or other means. The teams switch between batting and fielding whenever the fielding team records three outs. One turn at bat for both teams, beginning with the visiting team, constitutes an inning, and nine innings a game. The team with the most runs at the end of the game wins. Evolving from older bat-and-ball games, an early form of baseball was being played in England by the mid-18th century. This game was brought by immigrants to North America, where the modern version developed. By the late 19th century, baseball was widely recognized as the national sport of the United States. Baseball is now popular in North America and parts of Central and South America and the Caribbean, East Asia and Europe. In the United States and Canada, professional Major League Baseball (MLB) teams are divided into the National League (NL) andAmerican League (AL), each with three divisions: East, West,

    and Central. The major league champion is determined by playoffs that culminate in the World Series. The top level of play is similarly split in Japan between the Central League and Pacific Leagues and in Cuba
