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:

Land is always limited in HK, sometimes we will play baseball in football field, Hin Tin is a typical example.
If a batter can hit the ball over the fence of the field within the fair territory, it is called “Homerun”. Baseball field is in diamond shape, imagine what will happen if you play baseball in a “rectangle” football field? Yes, either 1 side is shorter, that means easier to hit homerun! For that case, we have a rule called “Ground rule double”, if a batter hit a ball over the fence of the shorter side of the field, he can advance 2 bases only, sounds fair, right?
