It is easy to learn how to play baseball, so children as young as five can start to play. It is hard for some
children to hit the ball if it is thrown to them, so someone puts the ball on a tee (a stick with a place for
the ball), and the child hits it from there.

There are four bases in baseball: first, second, third, and home. When you hit the ball, you run to first
base. If no one has caught the ball, you can keep running. If you can, you want to run all the way to
home base. If you do, you have scored a run. Baseball scores are usually low, so if you score a run, you
have really helped your team.
