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.

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…

No species has contributed more to the fear of bats than the vampire bat. Movie portrayal and public perception of them as creepy, blood-sucking monsters is an incorrect representation. The vampire bat in fact rarely kills its prey and is very ordinary looking, although they do have some fascinating adaptations to their ecology and lifestyle, their anatomy and physiology, and their feeding behaviors. The Vampire Bat is a small, carnivorous mammal who drinks the blood of birds, horses, pigs, and…
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.…
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…
Leeman Bennett once said, “A winner is someone who sets their goals, commits themselves to those goals and then pursues their goals with all the ability that God has given them. That requires someone who believes in himself or herself, who will make self-sacrifices, work hard, and maintain the determination to perform at the best of their ability” (“Running”). This is the mind set of every great softball player, and in order to have this mind set, players must acknowledge and appreciate the…
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…
