Baseball

day outside me, my brother, and his friends were all playing Basketball outside in front of my house. I decided to play Baseball because I was just getting bored of playing the same thing every time his friends came over, but that was a mistake. I learned my lesson not to play Baseball instead of Basketball. I was a little boy at the age of 9 and I wanted to combine Baseball and Basketball it would be called, Baseketball. I decided to grab a bat and told my brother’s friend to “Throw the ball…

Baseball from its creation in America has stayed true to its values as well as mirroring American society; both good and bad. It has been there for Americas during their worst times and continues to change as Americans change. Throughout the generations, baseball has been passed down from father to son or mother to daughter and has brought people of every size, age, shape, and color together for a common cause; to cheer on their favorite team or play their favorite game. For these reasons and…

Often referred to as America's pastime, baseball is the most iconic American sport in history. Originating from the European sport of Cricket and the late nineteenth century American sport of rounding, baseball has endured nearly one hundred and fifty years since its first team, the Cincinnati RedLegs, were introduced in 1868. Once a common activity of leisure for factory workers in the industrial northeast, baseball evolved into a dynamic sport that currently dominates American sports in…

This weekend was great and I had a blast with all the fun activities I did. I had three fun activities and was petrified when the weekend ended. To start the great weekend off, I had hitting practice for baseball. It was at the Parker Fieldhouse and went from 9:45 to 11:00. I hit pretty good along with my teammates and I think we are all going to develop into better players, to make a better team. That wasn’t all. I also had fielding practice on Sunday at the Parker Fieldhouse. This time, we…

The use of steroids, also known as performance enhancing drugs (PEDs), in baseball has been illegal in Major League Baseball since 1991, even though they did not start league wide testing until 2003. And even though they are outlawed, many still use steroids and get away with it. This gives them an unfair advantage and if not used properly can ruin not only their careers, but their lives. I believe that steroids should become legal in the MLB to level the playing field. Many people cheat and get…

How the MLB will become a more ethnic sport over time. It’s no question that baseball is one of the most racist sports in the world. The Cleveland Indians have managed to create the most racist logo in sports of all time. It is very offensive as it is a cartoon Indian with a red face and a feather. But that’s just a logo. I want to talk about the players and the future of the league. The MLB consisting of 30 teams, 2 leagues (American and National) is one of the most increasing sports in…

The 1930s and 1940s were know for the campaign against desegregation of the game of baseball. The black baseball players were ultimately deprived from playing in the big leagues with the white ballplayers during the time of segregation. Not only were colored players prohibited from playing on white teams, but their games were often cancelled simply because the white major league teams “refus[ed] to play against a colored ball club” (Lamb 67). Often times, there were many black players who were…

Analytical Interpretation of a Political Cartoon Most Americans work hard for what they have, yet, it is baseball, America’s pastime, where the players cheat their way to the top of the game. The evolution of steroids in baseball has evolved rapidly in the past two decades. The lack of routine drug tests in baseball, combined with the less than harsh suspensions has created a league unlike that of the previous century. This juiced up league has created new records as players become stronger and…
