Editing Rounders (section)

==Comparison with softball and baseball==
{{HistBaseball nav}}
The GAA version of rounders is very similar to [[softball]], the main difference being that the game is played with baseball-sized bats, balls and field.{{clarify|date=May 2020}} However, baseball-style gloves are not allowed. The main differences between [[baseball]] and the English version of the game are that the rounders bat is much shorter and is usually swung one-handed; misses or strikes are not called, so there are no walks or strike-outs; each batter receives only one good ball and must run whether they hit it or not. Other differences include the posts for marking the bases, which should be wooden, and are preferably encased in plastic sheaths, the layout of the pitch, especially the location of the last base; and the bowler's arm motion, which is an underarm pendulum action, as in softball.
