Baseball It self


Baseball is a ball-and-bat sport played by two teams of nine players each. The goal of baseball is to score runs on hits. A player on the batting team can stop at any of the bases and hope to score on a teammate's hit. The teams switch between batting and fielding whenever the fielding team gets three outs. One turn at bat for each team constitutes an inning, nine innings make up a professional game. The team with the most runs at the end of the game wins. Baseball on the professional, amateur, and youth levels is popular in North America, Central America, South America, The Caribbeans, East Asia, and Southeast Asia. The modern version of the game developed in North America, beginning in the eighteenth century.

Professional Major League Baseball teams are divided into the National League (NL) and American League (AL). Each league has three divisions: East, West, and Central. Every year, the champion of Major League Baseball is determined by players culminating in the World Series. Four teams make the playoffs from each league: the three regular season division winners, plus one wild card team. The wild card is the team with the best record among the non–division winners in the league. In the National League, the pitcher is required to bat, per the traditional rules. In the American League, there is a tenth player, a designated hitter, who bats for the pitcher. Each major league team has a "farm system" of minor league teams at various levels. These teams allow younger players to develop as they gain on-field experience against opponents with similar levels of skill.

Personally to me baseball is a very easy sport to learn and play. I think baseball can be learned in less then 2 hours, because all you are doing is hitting the ball with a bat, and running around bases. I love baseball. My whole entire family loves it too. Every summer I go to the Bronx, to Pelham Bay Park, and play baseball, my dad has a softball league there for all the men so the kids grab every one and make our own baseball game, and we are very competitive. Our parents would always watch us play and cheer for us. Not only is this a good activity for kids to do, but you are also spending time with your family, which is what everyone should do. Baseball is my favorite sports and no one can change that, no matter how boring they say it is.
