Baseball is one of the more popular team sports played all over the globe. It is a bat-and-ball sport which is typically played by two teams that each have nine players. The game’s goal would be to score the most number of runs by hitting the ball that is thrown using a bat and then touching all of the four bases which are positioned on the four corners of a ninety-foot diamond or square. The players of the first team or the batting team) each take turns in hitting the ball that is thrown by the pitcher of the second team or the fielding team). The fielding team tries to stop the batting team from scoring runs by getting the hitters out. The players on the batting team  could stop on any of the four bases and later advance after a teammate’s hit or other means. Whenever the fielding team records a total of three outs, the teams switch. Nine innings constitute a professional game, with an inning constituting of a turn at bat for each of the players of the teams. The team that gets the most number of runs when the game ends, wins.

Baseball actually evolved from the older games that made use of a bat and a ball. One early form of baseball was played in England sometime during the mid-18th century. This game was brought to North America by British and Irish immigrants, which resulted to the development of the modern version of baseball. Later, in the late 19th century, baseball has already been widely recognized as the US national sport. Today, baseball continues to be popular in North America, Central and South America, as well as in some parts of East Asia. Baseball is occasionally called hardball, in contrast to another variant of baseball, softball.
