Baseball, the great American pastime, is actually considered the official sport of the United States, though it is enjoyed by many fans in several countries throughout the world. Developed in the late 18th century, the game of baseball was probably derived from older British bat and ball games and then brought over to America. Today, baseball teams consist of nine or ten players and a pitcher. In some leagues the pitcher is the tenth player and must bat for the team, while other leagues allow a designated hitter to bat in place of the pitcher. Baseball enjoys great popularity as both a professional spectator sport, and an amateur or youth league sport.
