Personal Narrative: Baseball As A Sport

Improved Essays
I have been playing baseball every since I could hold a bat. Baseball has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. Both my parents, my older brother, and my two sisters played baseball. As you can see, baseball runs in my family. I also play football, so I am very athletic and competitive. I want to win whether it is in a baseball game or an argument with my brother.

That team eventually split up so when I was 10, the team I was on wasn’t very good. I believe we won one game and we went crazy after that game. It felt like we won the championship. It was a great feeling for a 10 year old to have. From when I was 11 to 14, I was coached by a man, who was not my Dad, that knew the game of baseball very well and was a cool guy to be around. We were a pretty decent team all four years he coached me and I will never forget the times I had with all of my
