How many active baseball players on the field?

Answer 1

Sort of a trick question. Most would assume nine active players must be on the field:

1. pitcher
2. catcher
3. 1st baseman
4. 2nd baseman
5. 3rd baseman
6. shortstop
7. left fielder
8. center fielder
9. right fielder

This is the defensive team. You can't have a game though without an offense. In Baseball, the offense is the batter, number ten man on the field and also active.
