“A friend knows your stories your best friends have lived them with you.” So this journey begins during the winter break of 2012 in Pleasanton California. No one knew each other besides 3 people I have played baseball with before of my previous team Matthew,Diego,and Ricky. We started the practice and us 4 got split up into 4 groups. In my group, I had 2 younger boys by 1-year difference and I have no problem with that and one of their dads were the coach so everything was alright.a week later we got our papers back saying who's on the team and we practiced as a team and everyone gets along until 8 months later…

We finally get to Cooperstown new york and in our barracks everyone was amazed until benny's dad coach dan came to me and whispered “Justin,you and

It's the only way they know your weakness and the only way they know how to beat you.”
“But why are they scared of me?’
“Because you have more baseball smarts than them.”
And he replied with “but they're better than me,there bigger than me”
“Hey they may be bigger but you have a bigger heart for the game,now don't worry about it kid, we have a once in a lifetime opportunity and let's enjoy this, eat up.”
While we were eating I was talking to the other kids and then I realized that some left early and then I realized bennie also left and all I thought of was “what is bennie getting into the know.”
So I went out to find them and I was going into the barracks and I hear “ya, common bennie.” and I bust in there and I see bennie body slapped onto the floor after they tried wrestling.and I said “shit what should I do”
And my instincts came in and I came to bennie and checked him and he was crying and he whispered to me in pain
“Don't worry, I'm fine”
So I did something I never thought I would punch my 3 best friends to get them back for what they did

“Hey, justin what the hell was that

    I have played baseball ever since I was a young kid, but somehow, at seventeen I still had numerous struggles with it. You would think after my grandpa being drafted to the Pittsburgh Pirates, a Major League baseball team, and my dad getting a full ride to the University of Denver their skill would have rubbed off on me, but you would be wrong. I wasn't terrible, I could hit a 90 mile per hour fastball and I could, for the most part, field a ground ball. However, I was definitely not about to be scouted by the college scouts.…

    After the mini celebration from my team, I ran up to my dad and said, “ You have to take me to Chuck E Cheese now, my team won and I scored a goal just for you, but mainly to go to Chuck E Cheese.” My Dad chuckled and said,” Alright, but we have to go pick up your mom because we’re not about to celebrate without her. She’s the first person who told me to sign you up so that you could play in some sport.” I was extremely happy because not only was my coach proud about me and my other teammate scoring a goal as well as winning the game, but because I was also going to Chuck E Cheese, which at the time, if I were to be religious, that must have been my heaven.…

    I had a really exciting childhood in Sacramento; my family loved to travel and see new places but there is no place like home. There was always something to do I do not recall ever having a dull moment. Ordinary school days most of my time was spent outside at the park or playing video games inside with friends. On weekends my mother would travel the Northern Coast weather it be shopping in San Fransisco or visiting Six Flags in Vallejo. My favorite part was getting amazing fresh eats from street vendors; Gult was a super popular farmers market with some of the best street food from all walks of the world.…
