Baseball

Nine innings, two teams alternating batting and fielding. The natural unit is the inning, and a season is long, so rate statistics matter more than single results.

The model

What Baseball needs that a generic model does not give it.

Every sport gets its own entities and its own scoring shape. We do not force one structure onto all of them.
