You can participate in baseball at your school, travel leagues, church leagues, fall ball, summer ball, and even in your backyard. You can play baseball anywhere as long as you have four bases, a ball and a bat.

Each player on the offensive team will bat in the order their name appears on the team's batting order/roster.
The first batter of each inning, after the first inning, will be the player whose name follows the last player who legally completed his time at bat in the preceding inning.
If a batter gets 3 strikes, they are out; 4 balls mean a walk; or the batter can get a hit.
Each offensive team gets 3 outs before the offense goes to defense and defense goes offense.

A BATTER is an offensive player who takes his position in the batter's box and attempts to hit a ball thrown to him by the pitcher.
A PITCHER is the fielder designated to deliver the pitch to the batter. The pitcher pitches the ball to the batter and the batter attempts to hit the pitch and become a runner. The defense attempts to catch the ball after it is hit and put the batter and/or runners out.
A PITCH is a ball delivered to the batter by the pitcher.
The CATCHER is the fielder who takes his position back of the home base and catches the pitcher's pitch when the batter does not hit the pitch.
A RUNNER is an offensive player who is advancing toward, or touching, or returning to any base

You can encourage others to play or watch when friends or family spend the night or just hang out. You can have them umpire or play on the team. It's a fun way to meet new friends and to say out of trouble.
