Baseball is a game played between two teams of 9 players each using bats to hit a thrown ball and run between 4 bases. It traditionally only includes male players as the similar game for women, softball, uses a larger ball. Fans enjoy watching baseball and become passionate about particular teams. A team has a roster of 25 players maximum but only 9 play on the field at a time while the whole team bats. Fans cannot join in on the field as the rosters are limited to 25 players maximum per team.
