Baseball is one of the favorite sports in the U.S.A. Children play baseball in sports fields or parks.

      At summer picnic, there is often an informal（非正式的） baseball game. Boys and girls, young and old take turns to play. There are nine players on each team.

      The baseball season goes from April to September. During this time, baseball matches are showed on TV and members of the important baseball teams become America's heroes（英雄）. At the end of the season, the two top teams play against each other. Many baseball fans go along to watch the game. Millions of others listen to the radio or watch television. People seem to talk only about the game. Even long after it is over, they still talk about the result and the players.
