Baseball is one of the most historic sports that is played in this day and age. It is a sport that is played between two teams with nine players on each side. In the game the pitcher throws the ball toward the batter of the opposing team. The batter will then hit the ball, or try to, with his bat. The bat is made of wood something that is required in professional baseball.
