Baseball on the Web

 

 

As we begin our next unit on Baseball, we will visit an online source that will help explain the vocabulary associated with the game. Baseball is a very complex game that can be difficult to understand. By completing this activity you will gain a much broader knowledge of the game that is known as “America’s Favorite Pastime.”  (Click on “Baseball Vocabulary” to explore the website)
