The start of the sport would be sometime around the beginning of the 19th century, being played in different variations mainly around the New York area. Founded in 1845, The New York Knickerbockers was the first team to play somewhat of a modern-day version of Baseball, with the sport changing rules and evolving in the following years. Two years later, together with 15 other teams, the New York area formed the National Association of Base Ball Players had been formed, the first league of the sport.

The sport was an amateur one for many years until one team established themselves as professionals, and many soon followed. This means that the players of these teams played baseball as their jobs because up until then, most of them had other jobs at the same time. Also, there had been all sorts of leagues trying to establish themselves over time, but now there is only the national one, divided into the Minor League and Major League, with the latter being the one everyone is watching.

The two teams are each comprised out of nine players, with the player taking turns in both attack and defense, batting, running, and fielding. All the nine players take the position of the batter, as well as the other positions, constantly changing, so you have to be an all-around player. There is the hitter, who has to throw the ball, being on the offense, and the pitcher, who has to hit it, on the defense.

The game takes place during nine innings, each divided into two halves, the top, and bottom. Batters have to hit the ball thrown at them, and then the other players in their team need to run the four bases before they reach the home base, where there’s a plate. If a batter hits the ball on the outfield, he can make the run of all four with no competition, making it a home run.

A team loses its turn at the bat after three outs, which happens when three of their batters have given out. The team with the most runs at the end of the nine innings becomes the winner, simple as that.

It is a game where it is important to have the physical ability, somewhat lucky, but strategies are very important, which is why you can see players making hand signs that show the plays that the team will make at that moment.
