Dugout

Turner and he tagged the runner ending the game. We all threw our gloves and hats in the air and celebrated like crazy kids. We had just won the Gopher State Baseball Tournament. We shook hands with the other team and gathered our things from the dugouts. We went to get the trophy and banner to take pictures and no one could stop smiling. After, that we got sized for our championship rings, our personal trophy for winning. We would be presented them at a Twins game that was a couple weeks…

Powhatan Tribe Research Paper I am doing my report over the Powhatan Tribe. The Powhatan Tribe is a group of Algonquian-speaking-people that were native to the New World, specifically, the Northeast Woodland Region, before the English had colonized it. The Powhatan Tribe chose to live in this region because the rivers there helped them stay clean, transport places, and irrigate crops easier. The Powhatan Tribe established in 1580 by Wahunsonacock, who created the Powhatan Confederacy that…

The Battle of the Somme Why did the British plan on the Somme fail on 1 July 1916? Initially anticipated to be a conclusive advance to end the stalemate, the Battle of Somme, unknowingly at the time, would instead come to be recognised as an unavailing and indiscriminate killing of British soldiers. The battle itself was one of, if not the largest battle in World War I, and consequently one of the bloodiest battles in humanity, which epitomised the futile nature of trench warfare .The Battle of…

I woke to the sound of my alarm clock going off, “Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep.” It was 7:00 in the morning; the usual time I get up to go to school, but like usual I slam on the snooze button and sleep for another five minutes. After hitting the snooze button three times I finally got up. Today is the day, our first doubleheader of the season is against Rockford. The coach is starting me at left field and it is my first game ever starting in high school game. I’m a Sophomore at Atwood High School; my…

During the sixth inning or something like that, I was sitting behind the dugout of the Royals and I remember a foul ball rolled over towards it. One of the baseball players grabbed the ball and tossed it up into the stands. I wasn 't tall enough to catch it, but someone tall behind me caught it. It just happened to be my six…

smoke reached the line of soldiers waiting to fight. Immediately, the soldiers began to cough, gag and choke. Their eyes started stinging and watering, and they fell backwards into the trenches. The soldiers tried to duck and avoid the smoke in their dugouts, but it soon followed. Those who did not fall ran trying to abandon the clouds of smoke, but this was no regular smoke (Kennedy 53). It was chlorine gas that German forces used to initiate large-scale chemical warfare during World War I at…

feel most comfortable. This is one example of why I love baseball so much. It was getting dark in Hastings,boom,boom the balls being thrown back and forth. Car after car rolls in, crunching down the earth more and more. The coach yelling “get in the dugout.” As he tells us our positions team members loving their positions. Then I heard my…

“Way to go girls! We are so proud of you!” the fans scream. ”I can not believe we are advancing to the championship!” shouted Shelby. As we are getting ready to play, my teammates and I are gritting our teeth. Kloey and I are so nervous, but we are excited to play too! I am warming up pitching for the big game and my heart is beating briskly. My pitches looked perfect coming into the game; I was ready! The umpire screams,”Head coaches!” Coach jogs up to the plate, and the game should start…

When thinking of an exciting and unusual time in my life, I think back to a time when I felt the highest thrill along with feeling very low. It was my freshman year of high school and me and my best friend Mike were ecstatic to try out for the baseball team at Forrest High School (now Westside High). We had been playing baseball together since we were kids and our goal was to be the next pair of great ballplayers to come through Forrest. We had been working for that moment all our lives and it…

Although the dates of the various phases of construction of the Stonehenge monument, located on the Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England, are generally agreed upon, scholars continue to the debate the methods used to move, shape, and raise the stones of the monument. The Phases of Stonehenge Construction Scholars have divided the construction of Stonehenge into three phases. The most recent scientifically-verified dates for these phases are approximately 3100 to 3000 BC for Stonehenge I, 3000…
