Before you can take part in playing the…

I know. He would always stay late at work and do more work than he should. He always does the baseball leagues job of taking care of the baseball field’s condition by mowing the grass, watering the dirt and dragging the Turface. My dad would pick me up from school and take me to work with him whether it was to his actual job at the movie theatre or at his second job which was taking care of the baseball fields. I always enjoyed working with him because that meant I got to spend time with him.…

high school was the baseball team. In previous years we have not made the playoffs or even come close to that goal, but my junior year was different.

In freshman year of high school, I decided to try out for the freshman soccer team. I had not played for the middle school team but I had played for a club outside of school.

The moment you step foot on the field you get that rush of this is where I belong. The bright lights in your face like the blazing sun in your eyes. The freshly new practice jersey and uniform having the smell of the downy softner with the sweat of hard work tieing it down and not letting go.

It's the…

An accomplishment I had in my past was only have 5 loses on entire season of baseball last year. In years past we had been very bad. We worked our tails of every practice and during lifting we came back every year better than the last. Last year was so special because it was our last year together, we had been together for 5 years through thick and thin and in the past year we really got it together. I wasn't easy but we did it. It really shows when we slaughter teams who used to cream us,…

In “The Natural,” the character Pop Fisher is the coach and thus “king” of the “knights,” the ball team that the main character of the book joins and plays on. Furthermore, throughout the book he is mentioned to have a sort of athlete’s foot on his hands and that the Knight’s field also seems similar to a wasteland that would correspond with Pop’s hands’ condition, very similar to the “Tale of the Fisher King.” Other than his condition and relevance to the tale mentioned before, he is also known…
