My Love For Baseball

Improved Essays
I truly enjoy all aspects of baseball. I started playing this sport at the very young age of four when I joined my first baseball team. I remember not being able to come close to hitting any ball pitched to me and practicing endlessly with a batting tee until I was able to finally do so. My love for baseball was also nurtured by the first major league game my father and I attended at the age of five, which was between the NY Yankees and the Boston Red Sox. From that point on I always associated trips to the ballpark as memorable outings in which I could always spend quality time with my family and friends.

Besides the pure enjoyment I derive from the sport, I feel that I experienced many valuable lessons that can be applied to the everyday

    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.

Now, I am chasing my dream by trying to become one of those greats who played the game.…

    Even as a little fifth grader, new to volleyball, at the height of 4’10, I grew a love for setting and trained for it as often as I could. For my first two years of playing I never was on an actual team, but anytime I got to work in the gym I would automatically want to be setting. Once I entered seventh grade and middle school ball started I strived even harder to get the spot as setter, but for it being my first year I was okay with not being chosen as a setter. Once my eighth grade season started though, everything changed. I still was able to set for club, but my school coach had other opinions.…
