Encyclopedic overview

Baseball is a team sport that originated in 18th-century England and is popular in the Americas and East Asia.

In its usual form, the game of baseball is played between two teams of nine players on a playing field consisting of four bases, arranged in a diagonal square ("the diamond") and a large outfield extending from two adjacent sides of the diamond. The main piece of equipment is the baseball plus bats, gloves and bases.
