About Baseball
A baseball game has no clock. It ends when the final out is recorded, which is why a team trailing in the ninth still gets its full turn at bat. The infield's bases sit 90 feet apart, and the pitcher works from a raised mound toward a catcher crouched behind home plate. Clues here cover the positions, the equipment, the field itself and the language of scoring, from a sacrifice bunt to a called third strike.
Reach for this one during a rain delay, on the drive to a game, or in a spring classroom when the season is just getting underway.
