There are thirty teams spread across the  country, and many people have their own favorite \u201chome team.\u201d  The game is played by two teams. When one team is in the field, the  other team takes turns at bat. A baseball player first bats at the ball  and then runs around the bases in an effort to score. Points, called  \u201cruns,\u201d are scored when a player on the batting team touches all the  bases (including home plate) without being tagged or put \u201cout\u201d by a  player on the fielding team. The team scoring the greater number of runs  in nine \u201cinnings\u201d wins the game. Each inning is divided into two  halves: top and bottom. Both teams are allowed three outs per half  inning. Each team is part of a league. There are two leagues, the American  League and the National League. Each team tries to win the most games in  their league. The teams that win each league championship will play  each other in the \u201cWorld Series.\u201d  <strong>* note* date may change October 27<\/strong><strong> \u2013 Baseball World Series<\/strong> \u2013 In <a title=\"Baseball\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baseball\">baseball<\/a>, the World Series is the championship games of <a title=\"Major League Baseball\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Major_League_Baseball\">Major League Baseball<\/a> in <a title=\"North America\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/North_America\">North America<\/a>, played in <a title=\"October\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/October\">October<\/a> after the end of the regular season between the pennant winners of the American and\u00a0 <a title=\"National League\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/National_League\">National League<\/a>s.
