From which sport do we get the expression "Thrown a curve ball"?

Question

Name the only sport in which the ball is always in possession of the team on defense, and the offensive team can score without touching the ball?

Answer 1

Baseball
Baseball is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of nine players each, who take turns batting and fielding. The batting team attempts to score runs by hitting a ball (that is thrown by the opposing team's pitcher) with a bat swung by the batter, and then running counter-clockwise around a series of four bases: first, second, third, and home plate.
