eigh'u other players. A baseball game is
bet-ween two teams with nine players on

to run around the four bases of the
baseball diamond before the other team
can return the ball or touch him with it.
Jim always wears a baseball cap when
he piays baseball. When it's his turn to
hit the baseball, he uses a bat made of a
piece of wood that's about 3% feet iong.
