KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -In baseball, each inning consists of three outs. Once there are three outs, the half-inning is over. There are nine innings in baseball. Each team gets 27 outs per game.

Detailed explanation-2: -Each half-inning formally starts when the umpire calls “Play” or “Play ball". A full inning consists of six outs, three for each team; and, in Major League Baseball and most other adult leagues, a regulation game consists of nine innings.

Detailed explanation-3: -In baseball, the fourth out is a legal out made by the defense after three outs in a half-inning already have been made.

Detailed explanation-4: -So, as an example, a 6 4 3 double play means the shortstop fielded the ball and threw it to the second baseman, who turned the double play by throwing it to first base. I have been shocked to find how many charts in so-called baseball reference works get this wrong.

Detailed explanation-5: -Definition. A game is considered a regulation game–also known as an “official game”–once the visiting team has made 15 outs (five innings) and the home team is leading, or once the home team has made 15 outs regardless of score.
