Personal Narrative: Baseball In High School

Improved Essays
This last school year I moved to Nebraska to live there for awhile. While I was there I went to school and played my favorite sport baseball. I was very excited for our first practice, and our first game. My excitement skyrocketed when coach told me at the end of practice that I would start at shortstop and close the game pitching. The entire day of the game, which was on a Thursday, I was in a marvelous mood because I couldn’t wait for the game that night. I was one of three kids in 7th grade that had made the team, but I was the only one who started in the game. When school got out, and I got to the house I was staying in, I had my baseball clothes on at 4:15 even though the game started at 7:00. When I got to the field to start warming up with the team. I was intensely frigid out! It was 50 degrees in the middle of April! I was wearing an undershirt, and I had a sweatshirt on while warming up. After warming up and moving around for a little bit I had gotten used to the bitter cold and finally was able to take my …show more content…

    There was two outs and runners on second and third. The ball was hit and went between our third baseman's legs, the runner from third scored with ease. Their coach sent the guy from second and our left fielder Jackson Mayday was our last hope. He threw past the cutoff man and it was a perfect throw to our catcher Isaac Turner and he tagged the runner ending the game. We all threw our gloves and hats in the air and celebrated like crazy kids.…

    It was the most incredible feeling in the world to run and lay out your full body in the moist grass. It was an even better feeling when you came up with the catch. The most memorable part of the season was playing outfield. I remember the ball flying over my head, I was too arrogant to play back any further. I only had one thought at that moment, and that was to catch the ball.…

    The crisp breeze rustled my hair as I walked out of my house on the fall September day with my dad drilling instructions into my head. It was my first Little League baseball game ever, and my dad wanted to make sure it wasn’t my last. Being seven years old and never touching a baseball was something that had scared me; a lot. I had no idea what to think about this foreign, petrifying, game could possibly be about. The car ride from my house was only a few minutes away from the fields where I would begin my baseball career.…

    This I Believe Essay Draft I was 9 years old and my little league team was in the city championship for the second year in a row. We came into the game feeling strong about our team, thinking that nobody could beat us. The first few innings were pretty stress free, a few mistakes here and there but nothing major had happened yet. I believe it was the 3 inning and the score was tied 1-1 when we pulled our starting pitcher out of the game and put in our star pitcher, Duncan. What happened next was unimaginable, they scored 3 runs in a row.…

    If there was one thing I was used to by now, it was that whenever something didn’t go well for me on the baseball field, the future holds green pastures only if I go looking for it. So sure enough, after that loss, I set my eyes ahead to the next season. That final season we had a great start, winning a lot of games, but we ended up barely making the playoff as somewhat of an underdog. We didn’t think about anything that was at stake, we simply played our game all the way to the championship game without a loss in the playoffs. We won the first game of he series and were winning for the majority of the second game.…

    When thinking of an exciting and unusual time in my life, I think back to a time when I felt the highest thrill along with feeling very low.

We had been playing baseball together since we were kids and our goal was to be the next pair of great ballplayers to come through Forrest.
