Baseball - The Game The Lucky Play In Heaven

By: Greg Dutch

The popular game baseball is believed to have arrived by means of immigrants from
Britain and Ireland, to the United States. The game baseball, according to popular belief, has
originated in the Ireland few centuries back. Baseball is a game played between two teams. The batting team bats and the fielding team catches
and tries to get the players of the batting team out of the game. However, the team that scores the
maximum number of runs will win the game. The obvious goal of the
game, hence, is to score more points than the competing team and these points are referred to as runs
in the baseball terminology.
By running through all the bases in the square shaped field called diamond, each of the nine member
teams will attempt to score runs when they are batting. The process of running through the bases is
called a tour. Starting from the home plate, a player will tour counter clockwise, until he arrives
back to the home plate.
Looking at how the game baseball is played, one should first know the basic tools of baseball or in
other words the baseball equipment. The tools are the bat, the ball, the mitt and the field.
The bat is an offensive tool made of wood or aluminum, is long and hard and has a diameter of about 5
centimeters with a handle of smaller diameter (about 1 inch).
The fist sized white colored, red laced spherical object used in baseball is
called the ball.
Made of leather, the mitt, also known as gloves are worn by players as a defensive baseball
equipment. When wearing the mitt, it helps the catcher
to catch the ball. The shape of the mitt however is not definite, as it changes according to the
needs of the defending position of the player.
The field on which baseball is played is in the shape of a diamond and its dimensions can change
depending on the players age.
Baseball has a series of innings when it is played. Each of the innings are divided in to two halves.
The nine defensive players will arrange themselves on the field at the beginning of each half-inning
of the baseball match, with one defensive player standing at a designated spot in the center called the
mound while another defensive player the catcher will stand at the side of the home plate which is in
the other side of the pitcher.
When the batter holding a bat stands at the home plate, and hits the ball that was thrown at him; the
game begins and the batter will start running towards the first base. Any runners, meanwhile who were already on the base, will try to advance on to other additional
bases. By this time, the catcher should catch the ball and return them to the pitcher. Its great to have a decent pair of
binoculars to see the game.
Those were some of the basic information on baseball- one of the most popular games in the
United States of America.
