Baseball

I am an expert at baseball. I amaze my dad and friends when I know players that they have not even heard of. I know all of the teams and at least one player on every team. I also know the basic rules of the game. I like to quiz my dad on players back in the day that he does not have a clue on.

An out is when the ball beats you to the base and is caught. Also when the ball is caught in the air. A team gets 3 outs per inning. The home team gets the final at-batt if they are losing going into the 9th inning. If they are winning, then they do not bat their 9th time. A single is when the batter gets to first base and nothing further. A double is getting to second base. A triple is getting third base and a homerun is when a player hits the ball over the outfield fence or touches all 4 bases before he is out. That is called an inside the park homerun.

Baseball is america's past time, so it is fitting that I know a lot about the game.
