Baseball bat

in many activities, my favorite of which is basketball. I enjoy basketball because I always like to savor the soft swoosh of my basketball as it softly falls through the bottom of the net. Another activity that I greatly enjoy is baseball, where the loud crack of the bat is accompanied by the wafting smells of hotdogs and peanuts as the ball soars out of the stadium and to the other side of the world. Another thing that I love is my family. I have two sisters, both are older…

For my microcycle project I was given the sport position of a baseball pitcher. Baseball pitching is an extremely explosive and sometimes an unnatural movement. The main parts of being a good pitcher is to have velocity, position, and movement. In order for there to be a successful pitch, Chris Blake of the New England Musculoskeletal Institute at the UConn Health Center says that there are 6 phases the body must go through. Phase 1 is the wind-up. This is where your knee comes up and stores…

only dream of one day becoming an All-Star baseball player. The problem was, I could barely throw a pitch. I tried real hard to master it… trust me; I’m just not one for sports. This was the case ever since I was seven. But after six years, the suffering ended and I moved to Miami, Florida. Now, you’re most likely asking yourself, “How is moving going to replace your bad talent?” Well, let me tell you. It all started when I moved in next to an old baseball field, and considering it looked…

the happiness and entertainment of the people in the 1920s and contributed to the rebuilding of the United States. Although there were many sports in the 1920s baseball, and football played the most significant roles. Baseball is referred to as America’s pastime. As many people know George Herman Ruth or “Babe” is baseballs biggest hero (Hook 14). Many people know Babe Ruth for hitting home runs but ironically he started his career as a pitcher.

Broken Thumb I was outside on a nice spring day with my dad and brother my, Kevin. It was about 9:00 in the year 2010. We were all in our backyard having a catch before my baseball game which was in the afternoon. When I went deep for a pass Kevin was defending me. While jumping up for the football, my thumb got stabbed by the point of the ball. I luckily caught it but my thumb started to ache in pain but, I didn’t think anything of it. After our catch my mom drove me to the game, she was also…

chaos. What had such a powerful impact on my life is loved all over the United States, it is known as “America’s pass time,” the great sport of baseball. I originally decided to join baseball to make my family proud, no one else in my family played sports anymore due to harsh injuries. I would always hear my father say the day he had a son who played baseball would be the happiest day of his life. As the only one in the family who could still play sports I decided to fulfill my father’s dreams.…

Leaving the Park In the spring of my seventh grade year, I exercised my final season of eligibility of little league baseball. Just avoiding the cutoff date by a week, I would be one of the few thirteen year olds to take the field. It would also be my first year of making the all – star team, a goal I had since I had first entered the major league division of Shaker Valley Little League three years prior. As a starting pitcher, I was pretty confident that I would finally get the chance to show…

Injury When I was at my sister’s softball game, I was playing football during my baseball season, but it was an off day, so I didn’t have to do any baseball that day. I was playing with some 7th graders as their sisters were playing and they were throwing it high and far. While I was playing 500 with a wet NERF football and when I caught the football my wrist had a strange feeling. So, I kept playing on (not the smartest idea). It would hurt when I tried to catch it but I didn’t realize that…
