Baseball/Softball
Baseball is a very commonly played sport. There was once a story that Abner Doubleday invented baseball in 1839 but that story was never really proved. The first published rules were written in 1845 for a New York baseball club by Alexander Cartwright. He is known as a commonly “father of baseball”.

If the batter fails to hit a well pitched ball or if he hits it so that it goes outside the field is called a strike. When the batter starts running he is now referred to as the “runner”. The runner’s goal is to reach a base where they could be safe. The defensive players try to stop the runners from reaching base by putting him out using the ball. Runners that get put out leave the field and go to the bench or dugout that’s the place where other inactive players watch the game.
Right now my favorite baseball team is the Yankees. The Yankees are a professional baseball team from the Bronx, New York. The Yankees are members of the Eastern Division of Major League Baseball. From 1923 to the present the Yankees home has been the Yankee Stadium. The Yankees have been Major League Baseball’s most successful franchise with 26 World Series and 39 American League Pennants. They have also won the most titles of a North American franchise in professional sport
