a game of ball between two nine-player teams played usually for nine innings on a field that has as a focal point a diamond-shaped infield with a home plate and three other bases, 90 feet (27 meters) apart, forming a circuit that must be completed by a base runner in order to score, the central offensive action entailing hitting of a pitched ball with a wooden or metal bat and running of the bases, the winner being the team scoring the most runs.
the ball used in this game, being a sphere approximately 3 inches (7 cm) in diameter with a twine covered center of cork covered by stitched horsehide.
Shawn had an interest in baseball last year, and did OK. This year he is much improved!! And his interest has turned into "love". Games are Monday nights in Weyauwega. One of the games he jumped and caught a fly ball just like a pro... AWESOME! He has also been hitting a lot of fly balls. Way to go Shawnie!

 Sportsmanship expresses an aspiration that the activity will be enjoyed for its own sake, with proper consideration for fairness, ethics, respect, and a sense of fellowship with one's competitors. Being a "good sport" involves being a "good winner" as well as being a "good loser". |
