Baseball terminology

When a ball is kicked at its side it begins to spin around in its place according to the location of the kick. If it is kicked at the side and a bit towards the bottom the ball rises up in the air while spinning on its own axis.

I hit the ball with such velocity that it left a massive dent in the post of the net before going in making the score of the game 9-6. The fans were throwing out such praises as “better looking Gretzky” or “greatest athlete of our time” at me. As…

By definition an Eagle Scout is a boy scout who has reached the highest level of attainment in the various tests of skill and endurance set by the boy scout organization. I want to get my Eagle Scout because it not only teaches boy scouts how to survive and do basic things such as cooking, making fires, first aid, etc. It also gives you an advantage in applying for jobs. When applying for a job you could have the same application as someone else but if they see that you have your Eagle Scout…

An activity I cherish the most is softball. This sport has been my favorite ever since I was three years old. Softball to me is a time to let my worries disappear. At the age of seven years old, I learned the rules of the game and began to play for Palmer Ball. My favorite position to play is to pitch or 3rd base. During this past year I have been pitching more, and my hitting has improved. In the spring I am joining the fastpitch team at school. I am a cheerful person, but also, I can become…
