Basic Baseball Game Rules
Hello! My name is Adrian Arceo and I'm here with expertvillage.com. Today we are going to talk about the game of baseball. Now baseball is played with two teams with at least 9 players on each team. An average game also lasts 9 innings and the inning is broken up into halves, and the halves are called the top of the inning and bottom of the inning. Now the top of the inning is for the visiting team to bat, and the bottom of the inning is for the home team to bat. Now each inning has 6 outs; 3 belong to the home team and 3 belong to the visiting team, and at the end of the day the team that wins is the one that scores the most runs after recording 27 outs. Now while the game is being played, you always have 1 team with only 9 players on the field defending and the other team with only 1 hitter at bat. As the game progresses, you tally up the run score in each inning and at the end of 9 inning, the team with the most runs wins. This is a brief overview of the game of baseball.
