Baseball is a bat-and-ball sport played between two teams of nine players. The aim is to score runs by hitting a thrown ball with a bat and touching a series of four bases arranged at the corners of a ninety-foot diamond. Players on the batting team take turns hitting against the pitcher of the fielding team, which tries to stop them from scoring runs by getting hitters out in any of several ways. A player on the batting team can stop at any of the bases and later advance via a teammate's hit or other means. The teams switch between batting and fielding whenever the fielding team records three outs. One turn at bat for each team constitutes an inning and nine innings make up a professional game. The team with the most runs at the end of the game wins.
Baseball is one of the most popular sports in Japan. It was introduced to Japan in 1872 by Horace Wilson, who taught at the Kaisei School in Tokyo. The first baseball team was called the Shimbashi Athletic Club and was established in 1878. Baseball has been a popular sport ever since.
Gachinko Pro Yakyuu (aka Gachinko Professional Baseball): Virtual baseball boils down into a match between pitcher and batter...spread out over nine innings. Players start the game as a newly formed baseball team with the need to recruit from a crop of 670 players from professional clubs. Working on a budget, the aim is to shape a decent team and win games - with the ultimate goal of winning enough games to become highly profitable and thus buy a championship with the help of the league's best players. Updated 2003 data in the game allows fans of Japanese professional baseball to live the current season. Gachinko baseball uses a cel-shaded cartoony look to relay visuals.
