What is "Baseball":
Baseball is a bat-and-ball sport played between two teams of nine players. The aim is to score runs by hitting a thrown ball with a bat and touching a series of four bases arranged at the corners of a 90-foot diamond. Players on the batting team take turns hitting against the pitcher of the fielding team, which tries to prevent runs by getting hitters out in any of several ways. A player on the batting team can stop at any of the bases and later advance via a teammate's hit or other means. The teams switch between batting and fielding whenever the fielding team records three outs. One turn at bat for each team constitutes an inning and nine innings make up a professional game. The team with the most runs at the end of the game wins.

This Venue:
Shek Kip Mei (SKM) Service Reservoir Playground, one of the most popular venue for softball and baseball. As you all know, land supply is so limited in HK, especially in urban area, SKM is just a large piece of land, that can’t build anything on that, and used for various recreational activity. For minority sports, like baseball and softball, it is very difficult to find a practice or game venue. even though the land condition is not that good for real game, but most softball/baseball lovers do spent much time there.
