    Baseball

    Bases And A Ball (But It’s Not As Simple As It Sounds).


    The Stolen Sport

    According To History.com, Abner


    Doubleday NEVER Claimed He Had
    ANYTHING To Do With The Sport. But It
    Was A Commission Created By Spalding
    Who From An Engineer Named Abner
    Graves, Said He Went To School With Mr.
    Doubleday, Then Mapping Baseball’s Roots.

    A.J. Spalding Abner Doubleday


    The Home Field

    ● It’s Played On A Triangle(ish) Field, Or Just One


    Fourth Of A Circle.
    ● There Are 3 Bases; First, Second, And, Third. And
    Then There’s Home Plate, (Which In My Opinion
    Should Be Classified As A Base).
    ● The Pitcher’s Mound (Where The Pitcher Pitches
    From, Where Mound Meetings Happen, And Where
    The MLB Tries To Squeeze That Last $50 Million In
    Advertising Revenue From) Is Centered In Between
    All 4 “Bases”.
    Playing The “Play”

    ● Major League Baseball Has 9 Innings.


    ● These Innings Are 6 Outs Long, 3 Outs For Each Side. Each Team Bats For Half Of 1 Inning, And
    Fields For The Other Half.
    ● 3 Strikes Equals An Out.
    ● The “Strike Zone” Is Above Home Plate Between The Batter’s Shoulders And The Top Of Their
    Pants, Shorts, ect
    ● A “Strike” Is When The Ball Is Pitched And…
    ○ The Batter Swings And Misses.
    ○ The Ball Was In The Strike Zone, ButThe Batter Didn’t Hit It.
    ○ The Batter Hit The Ball Outside Of The Angle Between First And Third Base.
    The Playing Benefits

    The Muscles Benefited By Playing Baseball Include The:

    ● Biceps.
    ● Triceps.
    ● And Because There Is A Lot Of Running In Baseball, The Calfs.
    The Playing Components

    Baseball Is Mainly Running, Hitting, Sliding, Catching, And


    Throwing. So It Involves:

    ● Muscular Strength, For Driving Balls At The Plate


    And Throwing Home Outfield From The Outfield.
    ● Speed, For Turning A Single Into A Triple.
    ● And Flexibility, For Turning A Walk Into Base Hit.
    Baseball Fact #1
