Understand the basic concepts of the game. Baseball is a team sport played on a special field over the course of several periods of play, called innings. Each inning is further divided into two parts, the âtopâ and the âbottom,â during which one team tries to score points while the other team defends the field. A baseball that's hit and lands to the left of third base or the right of first base (as seen from home plate) is considered a âfoul ball,â which invalidates the play. 2  Foul lines are usually painted on the field to show where the border is. 3  There are regulation distances that define a proper baseball infield.
