Personal Narrative Essay: World Series

Improved Essays
Before I went to the World Series, I thought it was a joke, but I guess not because on Wednesday, October 26, 2016 at Progressive Field in Cleveland, OH was where the World Series was. I was more ecstatic than ever going to the World Series. When we got there, we had to choose our seats because it was standing room only(SRO). We chose our seats in foul ball territory, just about 15 feet away from the foul pole in left field. The game started and a country band named “Locash” sang the “Star Spangled Banner”, even fireworks shot up into the air making a crackling sound. The game was in action, the opposing team, the Chicago Cubs scored 6 and the Cleveland Indians 0.
We decided since the Indians weren't winning or not even close, to go look for some World Series apparel at the gift shops around the stadium. I got 2 shirts, one saying “The Flag Will Be Raised” and the other saying, “Cleveland Indians World

They said, “Cleveland is all about giving.” We said, “Thank you!”. There was a guy that we sat next to and he told us that he was from Michigan, born that is. He lived in Cincinnati, OH. Which is about 4 hours from Cleveland. You see, Cleveland is in the Northeast part of Ohio on Lake Erie and Cincinnati is in southwest Ohio right on the Ohio River across from 2 cities called Covington, KY and Newport, KY. We started talking about sports teams, watching baseball at the same time. He said he liked Michigan State and Ohio State. I told him, I just liked Ohio State. His favorite NHL team was the Detroit Red Wings, just like mine. His MLB team was the Detroit Tigers, mine was the Cleveland Indians. So, he basically liked all of the Michigan teams, except the Michigan

Lots of excitement, a hostile playing field, and the crowd would cheer over just about anything.

    During that very special baseball game I was beasting at shortstop. Every time a ball was hit my way I would either catch it or scoop it up off the ground depending on what type of hit it was but if the ball came my way my fans already knew what was going to happen. My fans already knew that I was going to get the batter out or get a double play and most of the time I did. It felt so great knowing that I helped my team achieve excellence and earn victories. My team had a very strong and unstoppable defense and if it wasn't for our teamwork, we wouldn't have had such a successful season.…

    Baseball: the sport where you stand around for 20 minutes and move 3 feet to the left and move 3 feet to the right. It’s so intense. It’s so intense that you could take a nap on the field with everything out there. Of course, I’m being sarcastic. The only time it’s actually fun is when you’re annihilating the other team while they’re asleep on the field.…

    My first thought was I can’t go over there, they might not understand my humor or my actions. But I decided against it and walked over to wave, high-five, and shake hands in my normal energetic way. I rubbed a man’s bald head, stole some popcorn, and even stole his son’s glasses to polish. And the best part was these fans understood it all. I spoke not one word to them and I couldn't understand what they were saying.…
