All my life I've grown up watching my older sister play the game of softball. Being the little sister, I looked up to her and always wanted to mirror her every move. From the clothes she wore to the way she walked. But the best thing I ever did was mirror the way she played softball. She pushed me to be at the top of my game and play every game like it was my last. As she played high school softball I dreamt of playing second base and wearing her jersey. And that's exactly what I did. Four…

Clayton Kershaw is on the mend from a lower back injury, but before the All-Star break, he was looking like the presumptive NL Cy Young winner. Unfortunately, he still hasn’t made it back from his injury, but it seems like he will be returning pretty soon. If I was going to go out on a prediction on what day he will return, it would probably be in this upcoming week. Clayton Kershaw finished off the first half of the season with a 1.79 ERA, 0.73 WHIP, and an impressive 9 walks in 121 innings…

I had practiced this so many times before, I had the drill down but I still had butterflies dancing in my stomach. The butterflies became dragonflies when the flew straight to me instead of Mario like we had practiced. With a boom the ball flew into the air and with the stadium lights shining bright, the ball took a bounce and I grabbed it. I was startled at first because I wasn't really supposed to get the ball; I panicked. “Follow me!” Mario yelled as he took the lead in front of me. The crowd…

It was the last night of winter break and I had a indoor baseball practice on the snowy night. The practice was going well as we were taking ground balls and working hitting on our swings. I was hitting in the cage and next you know, “Crack”, blood was rushing down the back of my head. Off balance, barely being able to see straight, everything was a blur. The person in the cage behind me let go of the bat and hit me in the back of the head. My coach bolted over, “Is everything ok”, he asked. I…

This I Believe Essay Draft I was 9 years old and my little league team was in the city championship for the second year in a row. We came into the game feeling strong about our team, thinking that nobody could beat us. The first few innings were pretty stress free, a few mistakes here and there but nothing major had happened yet. I believe it was the 3 inning and the score was tied 1-1 when we pulled our starting pitcher out of the game and put in our star pitcher, Duncan. What…

at the ball as if it was a fireball coming right at him. Once that ball hit the glove I could smell the burnt wood from the bat missing the ball by inches. My teammates were running toward me and screaming at the top of their lungs. In the game of baseball most people learn many different qualities in life. One of those qualities is how to be a leader on and off the field. Leadership is not giving to certain people. I went through blood, sweat, and tears to get respect from my team. Being…

Highlighter yellow with firetruck red stitches looping diagonally on both sides. It measures to 12 inches in circumference and as opposed to its name, it’s not very soft at all. I’ve had many bruises that have proved so. I only have one softball left from when I played. It’s dirty; the yellow has faded from the wear and tear over the years. There are smidges of brown from the field and one of the stitches has come loose. Softball used to be my life for thirteen years until I made the decision to…

My favorite activity is softball. Therefor I am going to direct you on how to hit a softball/baseball. First, you get a bat that is not to long and not too heavy. Because if the bat is too long and too heavy you will not be able to time up the pitcher and hit the ball on time. When you are up to bat and you hit the ball and it goes to the right of you, that means you swung too late. If it goes to the left you swung the bat to early. And if it goes down the middle of the field your swing is good…

“Easy-out!” I hear snickers from the opposing team, while my own team holds their breath. The pitcher rolls the ball towards my eight-year-old self, pity in their eyes. It skids towards me, and I kick it away, pathetically slowly. Just as they predicted, I am out. For the rest of the summer camp, I avoided all the kickball games in shame. For years afterward, I tried to avoid competition and conflict of any sort. I stayed away from card and board games, and when my classmates shrieked with…
