Baseball, how to do it!

Baseball is a game played with a bat, a ball and a glove. The fundamentals of the game involve throwing the ball, hitting the ball, and catching the ball. Of course, the execution of these three tasks is more challenging than it sounds, and it is that challenge that compels baseball players to play the game.

There are two teams with respectively 9 players, alternately one team is the offense team, who can make points and hit the ball. The other team is the defense team, they pitch the ball and try to catch the flying ball, when the opposing team hit the ball. A point or a run is made, if a player of the offense team passes all 3 bases and returns to his home plate. If 3 players of the offense team are out, that means each player got 3 strikes, the teams change. When both teams were offense and defense, it's called an inning. After 9 innings, the game ends. The most important scene is the battle between the batter of the offense team, the guy who hits the flying ball with his baseball bat, and the pitcher of the defense team, who throws the ball. If the batter hits the ball, he can run and make points, the defense team has to catch the ball and throw it back to the base. If the batter fails, he gets a strike and after 3 strikes, he's out.http://www.joetown.de/dachlatte/baseballschlaeger%20holz.jpghttp://www.storm-baseball.de/grafik/bild_baseball8.gif

The most important items of a baseball game are the baseball bat, which is used by the batter to hit the ball, the mitt, which is used by the pitcher to catch the ball.
