Baseball

Baseball is a type of sport. This bat-and-ball sport is played between two teams of nine players each. The goal of baseball is to score runs by hitting a thrown ball with a bat and touching a series of four markers called bases arranged at the corners of a ninety-foot square, or diamond. Players on one team (the batting team) take turns hitting while the other team (the fielding team) tries to stop them from scoring runs by getting hitters out in any of several ways. A player on the batting team can stop at any of the bases and hope to score on a teammate's hit. The teams switch between batting and fielding whenever the batting team gets three outs. One turn at bat for each team constitutes an inning; nine innings make up a professional game. The team with the most runs at the end of the game wins.

History
This sport is played in Vault 101 in the 23rd century.

In 2268, a notice on the bulletin board of the Vault 101 Cafeteria announces that one of the teams is missing a player. The new team member would play as a shortstop in the game. This game is scheduled for a Saturday in the Atrium.

President John Henry Eden speaks of reviving this sport on Enclave Radio in Fallout 3.
