Well that's pretty generic. The old adage, three strikes and you're out is the best known rule of Baseball. Otherwise, each team sends a batter to home plate to try to hit a pitch from the pitcher. If you hit it and someone catches it before it hits the ground, you're out. If it hits the ground, and they throw it to first base before you get there, you're out. If not, you're safe and stay on first base and the next batter comes up. And you keep going until the team at bat makes three outs. Then you change sides and the team in the field comes to bat. Pitches can be balls, not over the plate, or strikes, thrown over the plate. Three stirkes you're out. Four balls and you get a base on balls, called a walk, and can go to first base. The team whose players get all the way around the bases and come back to home plate the most times in 6 or 9 innings wins.

The official rules of baseball are made and updated by Major League Baseball and published on their website. The game came from the British game of Rounders and then transformed into Knickerbocker in 1872. The rules were constantly changed until 1901 when modern day baseball began.

Unlike many other sports, baseball relies on all of its rules for its basic gameplay and structure. However, these can be grouped into 5 major rule categories:

  1. Equipment,
  2. Teams,
  3. Playing field,
  4. The fielding team's actions,
  5. The batting team/player's actions.
