diamond

Baseball's playing field

Diamond is a form of pure carbon and the hardest known mineral.

A diamond is a piece of this, especially one cut to a symmetrical shape for jewelry or some technical function.

A much less rare and valuable diamond is the four-sided shape of a slightly squashed square or rectangle; also, this symbol is one of the suits in playing cards.

Baseball is played on a field with roughly this shape that is called a diamond.
