Who Invented the Game of Baseball

April 12th, 2009

Baseball arrived to the United States through immigrants from Britain and Ireland. The game of baseball has part of life in the U.S.A. in since the early 1830′s. Hence, the goal of the game is scoring more points than the rival team and in the language of baseball; points are referred to as runs. 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. This running through bases is known as a ‘tour’. Starting from the home plate, a player will tour counter clockwise, until he arrives back to the home plate.

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.
