Do you enjoy listening to music? People all around the world listen to and make music every day, but why?

Being out of my environment for over a year made me even more anxious to get back on the field. My number was now 98%. I had rebuilt my dreams by fighting for all but 2 % of my range of motion and strength, and felt as good as new. For me, playing baseball is like riding a bike, it comes naturally. After making the varsity team with flying colors, I emailed Coach Jones with the hope they would still show interest in me. My dreams were compromised again after being informed that he had became a…

I truly enjoy all aspects of baseball. I started playing this sport at the very young age of four when I joined my first baseball team. I remember not being able to come close to hitting any ball pitched to me and practicing endlessly with a batting tee until I was able to finally do so.

From that point on I always associated…
