baseball field
Where innings unfold
A baseball field is the playing surface for baseball, consisting of a diamond-shaped infield with four bases and an outfield of grass extending beyond.
The term covers both professional stadiums and local parks with backstops and dirt infields: We walked to the baseball field after school.
Also called a ballfield or diamond.
