Baseball, because this sport is not popular in mainland my country, many people have little knowledge of baseball. So today Bangbangjun decided to give everyone some knowledge about baseball. The origin and history of
baseball baseball first evolved from British cricket. It was not until 1843 that a team of firefighters, the New York Knickerbockers, were formed in Manhattan, New York. The series of rules they formulated formed the basis of modern baseball rules.
During the American Civil War, baseball became the spiritual food for war-weary soldiers. Each company formed its own team and held competitions after the war. Because of this, baseball quickly became popular across the United States. After the Civil War, professional baseball teams came into being. In 1869, the world's first professional baseball team "Cincinnati Red Stockings" was established. This team is now the "Cincinnati Reds" of the American Major League.
Baseball in Japan
Around 1872, baseball began to be introduced to Japan. At that time, Japan was undergoing the Meiji Restoration and was eager to absorb foreign cultures. Baseball, a novel sport that had never been seen before, was no exception. It soon became a new favorite among students. However, the gameplay at that time was not as complicated as modern baseball. There are only simple pitching and batting rules.
It was not until 1878 that Japanese baseball developed significantly, and the first regular baseball team in Japan, the "Shimbashi Physical Club", was established. Since then, student teams from all over Japan have formed. In 1895, due to the defeat of the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War, baseball was brought to Taiwan along with Japan's colonial rule. The Baseball League was finally established.
Baseball in China
You may not have thought that baseball was introduced to mainland China earlier than Taiwan. Zhan Tianyou, the father of China Railway, once formed a team of local foreign students when he was studying at Yale University in the United States. Baseball team. In 1881, students who returned to the United States and Japan brought baseball back to China. However, it is a pity that China has experienced too much turmoil and changes since then, so the development of baseball in mainland China is far less than that in Taiwan and Japan. .

Another one who must be mentioned is Liang Fuchu (1892~1968), also known as Liang Chengshu, who lived in Japan Yokohama in his early years and formed an overseas Chinese baseball team that won the Yokohama League championship. It shocked the overseas Chinese community. After returning to China, he and his son devoted themselves to the cause of popularizing baseball, and were therefore known as the "Father of Chinese Baseball"

How to understand baseball games
Compared with baseball. In terms of understanding history, more people may want to know how to understand a baseball game. First, let’s understand how to play the next baseball game. Just like football has two halves and basketball has four quarters, baseball has two halves. It also has its own game arrangement. Each official baseball game has nine innings, and each inning is divided into two half-innings. The two sides exchange offense and defense in one game, and the winner is determined based on the scores of both sides. As for the order of offense and defense, it is usually determined by drawing lots or according to home and away games (for detailed rules, please refer to the article written by Bangbangjun:

How to score in baseball games First of all, everyone must understand one thing. Baseball is different from football and basketball. The offensive and defensive transitions between the latter two are instantaneous, and defensive counterattack is an effective means of scoring. But for baseball, only the offense can score in each half-inning. The only thing the defense has to do is to allow the offense to score as few or even no points as possible.
The offensive batsman can only stand in the batting box next to home plate when he comes on the field.When he successfully hits the ball from the pitcher, he can throw away the bat and run towards first base. At this time his identity changed from a batter to a runner. He ran and ran, and finally reached first base, stepped on it, and it was considered SAFE (that is, safe on base ). What happens after
reaches first base? The offensive team will send out the next batter, continue to hit, continue to run after the hit, and step on second base. If you continue this cycle until you run back to home plate, you will be considered to have scored 1 point. As long as the offensive team is not out in a half, the following batters will hit the bases one by one until they run back to home plate. Note, however, that there can only be one runner on each base bag.
But once out, the batter or runner cannot remain on the field. If there are three outs, regardless of whether there are any offensive team members on base, the half inning will end immediately and the offense and defense will be exchanged with the opponent.

How does the defense prevent scoring? As mentioned before, the defense will play nine players. According to their fielding In terms of function, it can be simply divided into three categories: pitcher → pitching; catcher → catching the ball thrown by the pitcher; others → catching the ball hit by the batter.
In fact, most of the time in baseball games is concentrated. The duel between pitchers and batters, so let's start with the pitcher.
If a team has a good pitcher, it is not far from victory. I believe you have heard of the term "strikeout", right? If you miss three strikes from the pitcher, you will be out.
Then some friends will ask, wouldn’t it be enough to let the pitcher throw all the balls where the batter can’t hit them? This cannot be the case. Baseball rules require that the pitcher must throw the ball within the range where the batter is likely to hit it. This range is called the strike zone, and the ball outside the strike zone is a bad ball. Another thing to note is that regardless of this. Whether the ball was originally a good ball or a bad ball, as long as the batter swings the bat, it will be counted as a strike.
