⚾ How Does Baseball Work?
Baseball is one of the most popular sports in the United States and Japan. Two teams of nine players take turns: one team bats while the other spreads out in the field to catch the ball. The field has four bases arranged in a diamond shape. After hitting the ball, the batter runs from base to base, and making it all the way around back to home plate scores a run. Just like in our picture, home plate has five sides.
