Baseball Is My Game

Baseball is the leading sport played in the United States. Let us explore a brief history of baseball. As per the records it was found that the first ever game of baseball was played in 1792 in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. There was another reference that mentioned that baseball was being played in the peripheries of New York City what was known as Greenwich Village in the year 1823. Another reference showed that Knickerbockers were the first team to play the first game of baseball. The first baseball club was formed in September 23, 1845.

Baseball is played between two teams and each team has nine players. This game is played with a bat and ball. The ball is thrown by the pitcher to the batter. The batter hits the ball and then runs towards the base. The batter runs to the first base and runs in an anticlockwise direction. These bases are arranged at the corners of a square that is ninety square feet. The game has nine innings in all and in each inning both the teams have the chance to bat and score and half inning of the team ends when three batters are out.

In the US the professional Major League Baseball teams are branched out into National League and American League. There are also a lot of youth programs where they have smaller fields so that it is easier for the kids to pitch and have softer rules than that of the professional players. These teams of young players are known as minor league teams. The kids are really inspired by the professional players and take them as their mentor. To mention some of the Major League Baseball teams, which are Yankees, Giants, Dodgers, and Diamondbacks.
