Baseball is a bat-and-ball game (similar to cricket, softball, or rounders) played between two teams of nine players each that take turns in batting and fielding. A baseball field has four bases which players run around counter-clockwise when they are batting. The team that scores the most runs by the end of the game wins.
The most popular baseball league is Major League Baseball (MLB). Baseball is also very popular in Canada and Japan.
