Overview

Baseball is a sport primarily played in the United States, Japan, Korea (both North and South), Taiwan, China, Mexico, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and various other places. The object is to score as many runs as possible while at bat, and prevent the opposing players from gaining hits and runs when fielding.

In baseball, a hit is when a batter advances to a single base without being out. A double is when a batter advances 2 bases, and a triple is when a batter advances 3 bases. A home run is when a batter hits the ball over the outer wall in fair territory. This is worth 1 run if no runners are on base, or up to 4 depending on how many are on base.
