"Hey, I'm Mike and I'm going to tell you how to play baseball today. First thing you gotta get your team set up. Each team is going to have nine players each. There's a catcher, pitcher, four infielders, and three outfielders. On one team, one team will hit and the other team will field, during which time the pitcher will try to pitch to the batter, hopefully to get him out, whether to strike out or to get him to ground out to one of his fielders or fly out to one of his fielders. The objective of the hitting team is to score runs. The team that scores the most runs throughout the game will win the game. Also, there's things that you can do during baseball, you can turn double plays and there is certain situations where there is runners on first you can get force outs. Force outs are when a ground ball is hit to a player and the ball beats him to that base. These plays are effective in gaining an advantage over an opponent and may be used to win the game. This is how you play baseball."
