Personal Narrative-Marked Baseball Cards

Improved Essays
When I was 7 years old I lived in Taft, California and I went into my garage and was looking for my baseball glove so I can play catch with my dad and I looked in a cupboard and saw a box labeled baseball cards. I opened the box and noticed there was about 40 to 50 baseball cards. I opened another box....
The first thing I saw was the LA Dodgers logo. I pulled one out and noticed it was my dad’s favorite player that he talks about all the time. I pulled out the box and walked to where my dad was sitting and asked if they were his cards. He said yes and asked where I found them because he has been looking for them so he could give them to me. I told him “I found them in the garage in a cupboard.” We sat down and looked through them for a while.
