History of Baseball

Baseball is a ball and bat game played between 2 teams consisting of 9 players each. Both the teams take turns to field and bat, the person who bats, needs to hit the ball thrown by the pitcher and run counter clockwise around the pitch to cross the four bases and reach home plate scoring a run for the team. Likewise the batting team takes turns to hit the ball and take runs for their team while the fielding team prevents the hitting team to get runs by getting them out.
Any of the player on the batting team who has reached the base safely is allowed to progress to the subsequent bases while their team members bat and have hit the ball. If the fielding team manages to get three outs they switch to batting. Each team gets turns to bat and to field, the visiting team gets to bat first and that is what makes an inning. There are nine such innings in a game. The scores of the teams are maintained, and by the end of the ninth inning the team who has more runs, wins the game.
