Introduction
Baseball is one of worlds most popular sports.

Teams throughout the world play it.

Our talk, I hope, will teach you more about the

wonderful sport, teams, and players. HERE WE GO!

The Basic Rules

There are nine innings per game in baseball (extra

innings are played if the game is tied).

During each innings each team gets a turn at bat. During each turn at bat the team keeps batting until

3 outs are made.

3 strikes and the batter is out.
4 balls and the batter walks to first base. If the ball is caught the batter is out. If the batter successfully hits the ball and reaches a

base it is called a hit. All runners on base can advance.

If the runner is tagged with the ball while running

the bases he/she is out.

A run is scored for each player who safely crosses

home plate.
The team that score the most runs wins!

A strike is called if the Umpire judges that the ball passes through an imaginary box above the home plate. A strike is also called when the batter swings and misses the ball, regardless of the location of the pitch.

History of Baseball
