Highlights
Baseball is a game played between two teams consisting of nine players each. The object of the game is to score more runs (or points) than your opponent. The game is played with a small, leather ball and wooden bats. All the players in the "field" wear leather gloves. The field is actually a diamond consisting of grass and dirt with four "bases." A pitcher from one team throws the ball and a batter from the opposing team attempts to hit it. There are nine innings in a regulation game. An inning consists of each team getting a chance to hit the ball and score runs before making three "outs." Baseball is played throughout the world. In the United States, professional baseball, called the major...

An inning consists of each team getting a chance to hit the ball and score runs before making three "outs." Baseball is played throughout the world. In the United States, professional baseball, called the major leagues, is played in large stadiums. There are two leagues--American and National. A major-league season runs from April to October, with each team playing 162 games. It concludes with the World Series, where the best team from the National League plays the best team from the American League to decide the champion. There are references to baseball from the 1700s, but the game was not played in the United States until the late 1800s. The first pro team was formed in 1869. The National League was founded in 1876 and the American League in 1901. The first World Series was played in 1903. Baseball is played by people of all ages at numerous levels, including Little League, Babe Ruth League, High School, College and Minor League.
