Baseball is a bat-and-ball sport played between two teams of nine players each. The goal is to score runs by hitting a thrown ball with a bat and touching a series of four bases arranged at the corners of a ninety-foot square, or diamond. Players on one team take turns hitting against the pitcher of the opposing team, which attempts to stop the hitting team from scoring runs by getting the hitting players out in various ways. Players on the hitting team can stop at any of the bases and later advance via a teammate's hit or other means. The teams switch between batting and fielding whenever the fielding team records three outs. One turn at bat for each team constitutes an inning; nine innings make up a professional game. The team with the most runs at the end of the game wins.

This game and the related rounders were brought by British and Irish immigrants to North America, where the modern version of baseball developed. By the late 19th century, baseball was recognized as the national sport of the United States. As of Doomsday, baseball on the professional, amateur, and youth levels was popular throughout North America, parts of Central and South America and the Caribbean, and parts of East Asia.
