Baseball

Introduction:

Baseball is a bat and ball sport played between two teams of nine players. the aim to score runs by hitting a thrown ball with a bat and touching a series of four bases arranged at the corners of a 90-foot diamond.

Players:

    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 via a teammate's hit.

Two Waseda University baseball players in 1921.

• one turns at bat for each team constitutes an inning and nine innings make up a professional game.
