WHAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT BASEBALL

Baseball is a team sport played by two teams of nine players each. It is considered one of the most popular sports in the Dominican Republic, Panama, South Korea, Cuba, the United States, Curaçao, Aruba, Japan, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, Taiwan, Mexico and Venezuela, and not as popular, but with a significant amount of fans, in countries like Canada, Australia, South Africa, Colombia, China, the Netherlands and Italy.

The countries considered powerhouses of this sport are found in America (North and the Caribbean) and it is played on a large field completely covered by natural or artificial grass, with the exception of an area called the runner’s line, where the offensive players run to reach the bases located at the vertices of the quadrangular area called diamond, and score, as well as the pitcher’s area, where the terrain is a hill of land.

The objective of the game is to hit a ball with a bat, moving the ball through the field and running through the internal field of land (infield) trying to reach as many bases as possible until going around the base from where it was hit ( home) to score the goal known as a career. Defensive players, meanwhile, look for the batted ball to eliminate the hitter or other runners before they reach any of the bases first or score the run.

The team that scores the most runs after the 9 episodes, called innings (or tickets) that the match lasts, is the one that wins. If at the end of the nine regular innings there is still an even score in runs, the match is extended as long as necessary for there to be a winner, since according to the basic rules of the game there is no tie, allowed only in amateur and children’s leagues to limit player wear.

Unlike other sports that are played with a ball, such as soccer or basketball; Despite the fact that the word “beisbol” could be translated into Spanish, the custom of using the English term is due to the feeling of a phonetically strange name: the translation would have to be base ball or base ball, although in some Spanish-speaking countries It is customary to call it colloquially as the ball game or simply ball.

On the other hand, one of the characteristics that differentiates baseball from other team sports is that, in it, the defense is the one with the ball, apart from the fact that the scores are determined by the players of the offensive team and not by the team. rival team.
