Inspiration

The person that inspires me is Kolten Wong. He plays for the St. Louis Cardinals and that is my favorite team. When last season started he played as a second baseman and he was diving for the ball and getting down on the ball very well. He was always watching and just waiting for the ball to come. Kolten Wong was just a good player to watch try his hardest. He has tryed so hard that they are almost close to going to the world series of 2015.
