and a bat between two teams consisting of
nine players each. It is seen as the national
sport of Cuba and the United States, since its

world by people of all ages.

popular sports in Australia, Canada,

United States, Holland, Italy, Japan,
Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Puerto
Rico, Dominican Republic, South
Africa, Taiwan and Venezuela.
How long does a
baseball game last?
The game is divided into nine innings.
Each entry is divided into two turns,
where each team will alternate attack
and defense. In each of them, the
defending team has the mission of
getting three outs per inning, for a
total of 27 throughout the game, while
the attacking team will seek to hit the

role in the national consciousness, according to indicators

competes with a myriad of sports and entertainment options
that didn't exist decades ago, and the game's methodical
pace alienates some potential fans .
