Reading: Ichiro Suzuki What do you know about baseball? Here are the basics: 9 players on each team hit the ball and they run around on the field. The teams take turns. When a player has passed 4 bases, they make a run (or score a point). The team to get the most runs or points at the end of 9 innings (9 turns) wins the game.
