Personal Narrative: All Star Game In Chicago At Soldier Field

Decent Essays
This summer on August 3 I went to the Mls All star game in Chicago at soldier field. It was an amazing experience. About two years ago we were on a plane to florida to go to DIsney. We went with my cousins. There are nine of us and we were sitting in first class so there are only two seats per section, so my dad had to sit by a stranger. When we got off the plane my dad said that the man he was sitting by was the head of security at soldier field. He said that if there was ever a game we wanted to go to to email him.
So this year when we heard that the All star game was at soldier field my dad emailed him. He responded the next day. He said he would see if he could get us tickets discounted.

    The highlight for the Cubs that day was Aramis Ramirez the third baseman for the Cubs who hit a homerun* that game. Other than that the Cubs lost that game and I didn’t care because all I could think of was going to run the bases.

I remember feeling the padded wall down the right field wall and looking at the visiting bullpen mounds.…

    The Interview That Changed Baseball Forever I woke up on a normal Wednesday morning, having no idea that in the next week, I was going to make history. I received a call from the Brooklyn Dodgers owner/manager, Branch Rickey informing me that he wanted to have a meeting with me.

I assumed that I was going to be recruited on to that team and was no looking forward to it. The next day I showed up into Branch Rickey’s office.…
