Baseball.h includes Person.h which includes Baseball.h which includes Person.h which includes ....

get the point?

Two things. Header files should have #include guards around them. Secondly, doing that will yield other compile
errors since you have an #include cycle. From the looks of it, Person.h does not need to include Baseball.h.
