2013, I was playing little league baseball in Pinetops, NC. The game was close and it was against our archrivals, the Yankees. My team, the Red Sox, were the best team in the league, and we were determined that we weren’t going to lose to our rivals in one of the biggest games of the year. It was a tied ball game, and one of the players on the Yankees named Levi came up to bat. Levi was a tall, strong, extremely cocky, but I will say, he is a really good baseball player. Some people would say…

Interesting career “Baseball is more than a game, it’s like life played out on a field.”-Juliana Hatfield. Baseball is one of the worlds greatest sports and is played almost everywhere in the world. An interesting career would be playing in the MLB (Major League Baseball). If I was to play professional baseball I would play at the one and only Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox. According to mlb.com it says that the Boston Red Sox have been World Series champions 8 times altogether. I…

Walk off. The most exciting play in baseball. The second the walk off ends, the game does subsequently, the only thing left to do is look back on how exciting the game was and of course, walk off the field... We’ve been taken out to the ballgame, we’ve eaten all the peanuts and crackerjack, we’ve root-root-rooted for the home team, and now the baseball season of 2012 was coming to an end. Lodi was coming to town. A team thinking back to the last time we played, they left the diamond on top 17-3…

ripped it! He ripped it! It’s all the way to the wall! This guy’s coming home! Jordan’s at second! Stop Jordan! Yeah!” My grandpa blared into his phone speaker. On a warm day in the Summer of 2014, I geared up to play in my last baseball game ever. My high school baseball team had squeaked into its first playoff appearance in five years and we were set to play as the underdogs in the CIF playoffs against Ventura High School. After a hard fought game, we reached the top of the last inning and…

There are many things that I would like to do in the future. For example one of my long term goals is to become a professional baseball player. I've always loved to play sports. Another one of my goals is to become an engineer and technology will be involved in professions compared to engineering. In the future technology could have a chance to take over sports. Technology could change the way that sports are played or it could also take over the jobs of referees or umpires. There are various…

though they come from different backgrounds they share a couple of interests in common. Baseball is one of the interests that brings all of them together. Mike, Henry, and Owen are baseball players and play on the same team which makes them be very close to each other at a certain level mostly when it comes to baseball. Even though Guert and Pella are not baseball players they enjoy watching the games. Baseball and each of the uniqueness of their different personalities enhance that sense of…

“The Baseball Card” ` Rickey and Gary out of school at 2:45 , and they take the same route to school every day. They cut through the old car dealership parking lot , when the boys started to cross the parking lot Gary spotted an old shoe box. Gary then began to kick the box across the parking lot as he walked. Stop gary that's super annoying said Rickey , Gary just looked at Rickey and rolled his eyes and continued to kick the box. Gary gave it one more hard kick and when he did the…

Why were black people segregated from baseball? Today many of the legends and greats we think of were African Americans, and it’s crazy to think they were excluded from the MLB just sixty years ago. They were segregated from anything you can think of at the time, and sports weren’t excluded. No matter if you were an Olympian athlete or a baseball all star chances are you’d end up with a dirty low pay job. So rather than give up the sport they loved and performed well at, they created the Negro…

The Orioles are well known for their complete and utter disinterest in using their international signing bonus pool to sign prospects from Central and South America. Baseball America claims that the Orioles spent the least of all teams in 2013 (http://www.baseballamerica.com/international/2013-international-spending-by-team/) and second lowest in 2014 (http://www.baseballamerica.com/international/2014-international-spending-team/). Orioles’ fans are concerned by this because about one-sixth of…
