Baseball is one of the most popular American team games. The first American

baseball match was held in 1839 in New York. Baseball is a bat-and-ball game

played by two teams of nine players each. The aim is to score runs by hitting a

thrown ball with a bat and touching a series of four bases arranged at the

corners of a ninety-foot square. Every player and coach must wear a particular

uniform: a shirt, pants, baseball cleats (specific shoes worn by the player for

better traction with the earth) and a baseball cap designed to shade the eyes

from the sun.

Cricket is a popular summer sport in Britain. There are many cricket

clubs in the country. Cricket players wear a certain uniform — white boots, a

white T-shirt and white trousers. One cricket game takes a terribly long time.

There are two teams of 11 players each and test matches between national teams

can last up to 5 days. The rules of the game have changed over the years. It is

a game which is associated with long sunny summer afternoons, the smell of

new-mown grass and the sound of leather ball beating the willow cricket bat.

Ice hockey is a favorite sport in Russia. Ice hockey is very popular

because Russia is cold with lots of frozen lakes in the winter. The Russian

national hockey team has always dominated the world championship and has also

won several times in the Winter Olympics.
