A FEW MISCELLANEOUS FACTS ABOUT BASEBALL. Here are some random facts about baseball from Wikipedia:

• The first baseball game with codified rules was played in Hoboken, New Jersey on June 19, 1846. Prior to that, the game goes back to the mid-1700's in England.

• The game is played with three basic tools: a bat, a ball, and a baseball glove (or mitt).

• Unlike most other sports, the shape and size of the baseball playing field can vary greatly depending on location.. There are no rules for fence height or height of other structures.

• Unlike other games such as Basketball, American football, and European football (soccer), in baseball there is no clock. That means the team with the lead cannot simply hold the lead to win.

• Statistics are closely watched in baseball, sometimes to the point of obsession. Traditional statistics include at bats, hits, runs, run batted in (RBIs), home runs, batting average, stolen bases, and caught stealing. For pitchers, stats include wins, losses, saves, innings pitched, winning percentage, and earned run average (ERA).

• Baseball is known as "America's Pastime" but it is well-established in several other countries included Canada, Japan, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic.
