Baserunning

What purpose does the baserunning serve, if the runners cannot add any further runs? Is it just to force batters late in the innings to get hits? John FitzGerald 16:06, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Move

The capitalization of Baseball in the title of the article was inconsistent with Wikipedia style, so i moved the article here. John FitzGerald 12:51, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Differences between the British and American games

This section mostly just describes the differing characteristics of the British game, but does not actually compare them to those of the American game - it appears to assume that the reader will be familiar with the American rules. "x is different to y" would probably be better than "x is different". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.9.32.121 (talk) 06:31, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I clarified a couple of points about "the American game." Schoop (talk) 19:14, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rounders

As I understand it the sport came straight out of rounders with a modified bat and then picked up the name "boy baseball", subsequently "baseball" - Bill Barrett explains Welsh Baseball. Hakluyt bean (talk) 03:43, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The games appear to be fairly similar. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 03:45, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"As in cricket..."?

As in cricket, the ball is thrown underarm and is known as bowling, while in baseball, it is delivered overhand or underarm and is called pitching. Um, surely in cricket the ball is delivered overarm (yes, i know it used to be underarm), and is definitely not thrown? This seems to be an incorrect comparison. Cheers, Lindsay^Hi 17:39, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I made this into 3 sentences so that it is clear. 1. They throw under hand. 2. It is called bowling, like in cricket. 3. American baseball is overhand OR underhand and is called pitching. Easy as. 119.149.20.25 (talk) 17:27, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
