Definition:
Baseball is a
sport played
between two
teams usually
of nine players each. It is a
bat-and-ball
game in which a
pitcher
throws (pitches)
a hard, fist-sized, leather-covered
ball toward a
batter on the
opposing team. The batter attempts to hit the baseball with a
tapered cylindrical
bat, made of
wood (as required in
professional baseball)
or a variety of other materials (as allowed in many
nonprofessional games). A team scores
runs only
when batting, by advancing its players—primarily via
hits—counterclockwise
past a series of four markers called
bases
arranged at the corners of a ninety-foot square, or "diamond."
The game, played without time restriction, is structured
around nine segments called
innings. In
each inning, both teams are given the opportunity to bat and
score runs; a team's half-inning ends when three
outs
are recorded against that team.

"The word
amateur has at least two connotations. In the first,
more widely used manner, it means someone performing
some task without pay, in contrast to a "professional"
who would be paid for the same task. In this sense,
labeling someone an "amateur" can have a negative
connotation. For example, amateur athletes in sports
such as basketball or football would not be regarded as
having ability on par with professional athletes in
those sports." Source:.wikipedia

"A
professional works to receive payment for an activity
(as a profession), which usually requires expertise and
carries with it socially significant mores and folkways.
That is to say, behaving professionally would indicate
that the person's actions remain in accordance with
specific rules, written or unwritten, pertaining to
behavior, dress, speech, etc. By extension, the
adjective professional can indicate that someone has
great expertise or skill in a craft or activity."

"Always take time
to warm up and stretch. Research studies have shown that
cold muscles are more prone to injury. Warm up with
jumping jacks, stationary cycling or running or walking
in place for 3 to 5 minutes. Then slowly and gently
stretch, holding each stretch for 30 seconds.
