Although I didn't succeeded I took a lesson from it in the end. “Play ball” the umpire called out as we jogged on to the field. Like every game before I headed for third base. The game begins and I can tell for the start the game wasn't going…

I realized that this opportunity was the solution to my problem. I went to my team’s batting cages…

the players and coaches of our team, were the only people that believed that we could beat the Alton Redbirds. Since I was a little kid I’ve dreamed about playing varsity baseball for the Civic Memorial Eagles. It’s probably been every baseball players’ dream as a kid that has been to Bethalto. I’ve always went to their baseball camps and meet the coaches so they would know who I was every year. It would be an honor to wear that uniform and to represent your town and school.

My dad played baseball when he was younger, and he almost played for the Mexican Baseball Team, but he got injured right before tryouts so he couldn’t play. My dad first took my brother and I to a baseball game when I was two years old, it was probably the beginning to a new tradition. Every year my dad got season tickets, and we would all go as a family…
