I have played baseball ever since I was a young kid, but somehow, at seventeen I still had numerous struggles with it. You would think after my grandpa being drafted to the Pittsburgh Pirates, a Major League baseball team, and my dad getting a full ride to the University of Denver their skill would have rubbed off on me, but you would be wrong. I wasn't terrible, I could hit a 90 mile per hour fastball and I could, for the most part, field a ground ball. However, I was definitely not about to be…

Sixty miles per hour is the speed at which the average softball player throws the ball; so I guess you could say I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, but I believe I was exactly where I was supposed to be. You know how some people say there was a certain moment that changed their life completely? Well, this was that moment for me, and it all was caused by a miscommunication. Miscommunications happen all of the time, but with a softball that isn't actually soft, and someone standing only…

Robinson's teammates were as well. Throughout the season the racism continued, mostly by the Philadelphia Phillies including their manager Ben Chapman. Chapman and his team shouted negative terms toward Robinson, during in infamous game from their dugout. Players on the opposing teams and even his own teammates threatened to not play during the games with Jackie. The Dodgers manager Leo Durocher made it clear to them that he would trade them sooner than Robinson. Leo's loyalty to Robinson…

The Natives lives were ultimately altered when English colonists arrived. The English had specific intentions in mind; colonize the area, become great merchant traders, and convert the Natives to Christianity. The colonists were willing to achieve these even if it meant overwhelming and destroying the Indian culture…

Fast pitch softball and baseball, they sound alike, they look alike, and they have a lot of similarities. However, they are a lot more different than they appear. I have been playing fast- pitch softball for twelve years so I am fairly knowledgeable on rules and regulations. I do not all the rules for baseball, but after research I found out the differences between the two sports. I plan to tell of the similarities and variances of softball and baseball. Fast pitch softball has many differences…

Grand came up and I thought him a few pitches and then I hit him. It may or may not been on purpose and he is bad because he wanted everyone…

There were 2 minutes and 30 seconds left in the game. Bases were loaded, and there were 2 outs. I was at the plate. We had played our hardest, but we knew it was all over. I was the Dodgers’ last hope of ever making it to the World Series. We were up against the Giants. Literally. We were all 8-10 year olds, and they were like 13. I had absolutely no chance. The score was 3-0, Giants. I was the little girl amongst boys. As I finally built up the courage to step into the box, that’s when I heard…
