back ground/history
Baseball is a very interesting and very fun sport but it’s not for everyone. Lots of people think that is it boring but most likely they have never even played or watched the sport. It actually is very fun it does go kind of slow sometimes but it speeds up. There are about 25 players on each roster for each team at the professional level. The reason there are so many people is because you need lots of pitchers. There are only 9 on the field when a team is batting. Most of the rules are simple easy to learn but there are also some rules that are hard to understand and to follow. It is very simple to play and do once you understand the rules.
It is good for you start at a young age of playing this sport so you will already understand most of the game. The rules do change some the older you get and are still playing. Baseball was invented in 1845. Jackie Robinson was the first african-american player in the major league baseball. He was the one to allow african-american people into the MLB. There are lots of african-american baseball players the have and are very good at playing baseball. Baseball would not be the same if Jackie Robinson played and fought through people trying to hurt him and call him very bad things in his career. If you listen well you can learn the game of baseball that has already played or has knowledge about the game.
