Baseball

Baseball is a popular sport played annually in the spring and summer, culminating in the World Series games.
It is usually played in nine innings, though some games have run longer. Teams consist of nine players. Some of the best known teams include the New York Yankees, L.A. Dodgers, Chicago Cubs, and Boston Red Sox. Famous players include Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jackie Robinson, Stanley Musial, and Willy Mays. The sport has been featured in movies, TV shows, animated cartoons, and even songs such as "Take Me Out to the Ball Game," and "Center Field" by John Fogarty.
Hanna-Barbera had characters stepping up to the plate or just seeing ball games in most of their animated series.
