Well, I think they called baseball, because for base.... their are bases in the game, and for ....ball, their playing with a ball.

What it mean in baseball (as well in softball) to steal is when the ball has been pitched you run to the next base. But you may have to run back because the ball was hit out of bounds. Another way to steal is when the ball was pitched and the catcher dropped it. Then again you run to the next base.
Throwing out the runner means that the batter hit the ball and a fielder fielded the ball and got the batter out running to first. It could also mean that the catcher threw the ball to second base when a girl was trying to steal and got her out. The same thing applies to third base.
sacrifice flies- you hit the ball and someone is on base, the ball you hit is a pop ball and you get out so that another player can advance
You can touch the base with the ball if you want to. Any part of the fielder's body can touch a base as long as he has possession of the ball.
