Can you explain the rules of baseball in the simplest terms?

Baseball is a ball game played with a team of 9 people on an outdoor field using bats and balls. This is both an amateur and professional sport, where the goal is to score more points than the other team. A run is scored when a player reaches all bases without being called out. The baseball field is divided into an infield and an outfield. There is a base at each of the four corners of the square infield. The infield is also called a "square." The infield is surrounded by the two sides of the inbounds area and the critical outfield area and the other two sides of the outbound area.

The baseball bat is a hard, smooth wooden bat, generally 3 feet 6 inches long (1.668 meters). The surface of the ball is wrapped in horsehide. Baseball is considered the national sport (national pastime) of the United States. The International Baseball Federation is the world governing body of amateur baseball. Baseball will be included in the next Atlanta Olympic Games in 1996.
