In order to play this game you need nine players atleast on each team. The object of the game is to hit the ball that will be pitched to you and every other player. When you hit the ball you run the bases and try to score without being tagged out or forced out at a base. You get three strikes(which is three swings at the ball or watching the ball go by when it is at or above your knees or at or below your belt) and four balls(a pitch that goes outside of the strike zone, or the area between the knees and the belt, yet over home plate). However, when you foul the ball off, or hit it but not forward or into play, it counts as a strike but you cannot strike out on foul balls unless one is caught in the air. For example, if you have swung and missed at two balls you have two strikes, but if you swing at the next ball and "knick" it so the ball hits the bat but goes behind you, you still have two strikes.
If the ball is hit over the fence in fair territory it is considered a homerun and everyone on the bases runs around freely and scores. This is how to play baseball.
