Answer 1

When you mention Baseball I can only think of the big 3 -

Major, Ookiku Furikabutte, & Touch

----------

Major - 104 episodes (26 eps in each of 4 seasons) & 1 movie

-- Follow Goro-kun from little league, to high school (Koshien tournament), & eventually the U.S. Minor leagues.

--67+ Volumes of manga goodness :).  And the scanlators are picking up the manga around season 4 in the Anime.

Ookiku Furikabutte

-- If you want to continue this series, the manga is still publishing with volume 10, chapter 18 being the latest release (though the releases are rather slow).  In relation, the Anime ends ~volume 8, chapter 16.

Touch - 101 eps & 5 movies

http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?sho...

-- Complete at 26 Volumes.  I've only read the manga, and all I can say that it's a typical "Adachi" manga, with his usual sports / romance style & slow pace.  Some people love it, but it's too slow & inconclusive for me (I would rather go with Major).

Answer 2

Major. I haven't watched it myself, but I know it's about baseball. The links I'll provide for you show short synopses and ratings.

There are currently four seasons with a fifth one to air in January of 2009.

Now about actually watching it... here is a site which lists a bunch of torrent trackers up to episode 92:

To watch it on stream, these sites should have it:

You don't watch it on stream directly from that site, but the provide links to outside sites for the episodes you want.

Hope this helps!
