I have played since I was a little girl, I know mostly everything about it. It's such a fun and active sport. I am on the same team as most of my friends, or some new people I have never met before. I have played since I was five but still play till this day. Softball if like really important to me, when I play it feels like I am a different person. When I'm up to bat I don't hear a thing, I hit the ball and all I hear is everyone chanting and screaming. The very first time I played softball, it was my very first game, I hit the softball to the fence and I stood there in shock, I didn't know what to do. The coach was screaming "RUN" and I ran the bases, the other team kept over throwing the ball to the bases to get me out. I made it to home plate, it was a home run. Everyone ran out of the dugout chanting and congratulating me. I looked around and there was a smile on everyone's face, I made everyone happy. I play softball till this day because it's something that makes everyone happy. It gives people something to chant about. It's a very fun

    Baseball: the sport where you stand around for 20 minutes and move 3 feet to the left and move 3 feet to the right. It’s so intense. It’s so intense that you could take a nap on the field with everything out there. Of course, I’m being sarcastic. The only time it’s actually fun is when you’re annihilating the other team while they’re asleep on the field.…

    The game of baseball has always been in my life since I was a child. My love for the game began when I was five years of age signing up for tee ball at the local little league. As a child, I would imagine myself as a professional ballplayer. I would mimic my idols every chance I had or I would dream of myself being in a critical situation to win the game and to make history. Now, I am chasing my dream by trying to become one of those greats who played the game.…

    Baseball Baseball has always been one of my favorite sports, and it will always be the longest sport I’ve played. A total of 9 years in Khoury league and 2 years in high school, so all in all I have been playing this sport almost all my life. I started baseball with the Red Bud T-ball team, the team had a count of 15 people including me and excluding the coaches. Those 15 kids playing on that team became some of my bestest friends and greatest teammates to have. Most of them ended up being with me until we couldn't play khoury league anymore, and then only about 3 or 5 of them played school ball with me.…

    You may only be at a ball park to witness a no-hitter once in your entire life, if ever. But to be on the team that is throwing one, an even rarer accomplishment. The possibility of being the pitcher to actually throw the no-hitter itself, almost the rarest feat in all of baseball. Excitement, adrenaline, rushed through me every time I threw the ball to home plate, and knowing that I was one pitch close to keeping the opposing team hitless. While playing some may think you feel the pressure of the game; however in my experience I felt stress free, which left my mind to only think about what pitch to throw next.…

    I spent a huge portion of my childhood listening to my dad yell at the T.V screen. When he wasn 't watching baseball, we were at every practice, every game, every tournament. Being the coach 's daughter meant that I was there with my dad through everything baseball- the teeth clenching, heart beating out of your chest games; the jumping up and down screaming wins, and the silent, still losses. Baseball is my dad 's everything- he grew up playing, and has coached full or part time for nearly 20 years. When I was eight years old, I asked my dad why baseball was so important to him, and what he told me has stuck with me since; "Emma, I hope one day you find something to be as passionate about as I am baseball."…
