need the guts to fight back, he needs the guts to not fight back just like Jesus when He was being tortured and criticized. Another instance where Rickey used a cultural reference is right after Jackie had smashed his bat in the tunnel behind the dugout. He explained to Jackie that he did not understand what he was going through and that he was living the struggle explained in the sermon and he felt bad for him, but even though it looked bad now, he just had to keep fighting through it and try…

The Last Turn Sharp pains shot all throughout my body; waking me from my sleep. Every muscle tugged on my bones and I could feel my limbs shaking. Thoughts were scattered in my head and I was debating if I could even make it out of bed this morning. The prolonged softball practices coach held for our team this past month had forced an enormous amount of stress on my body. Today was an important day for our entire team and I knew I had to get myself out of bed and get to the field for warmups.…

Shellshocked: Both Veterans and the Greater Community The shells were coming without stop, the only way we could function was by playing cards, and comforting one another. We could only imagine what it would look like once the shelling stopped. This is a common story of the many soldiers during the great war. Although everyone was excited and exuberant about the war in the beginning, soldiers began to regret going into the battle because the profiteers were sitting back at home, and they…

As I walked up to the plate, I wiped the beads of sweat dripping from my head while I was looking at my 3rd base coach and he gave me the sign to wait to swing till after the first strike. I felt butterflies in my stomach as I stepped into the batters box. The first pitch was a strike and then the next three pitches were balls.

As a team we really believed we could win this game even though nobody else did. It started off and Alton was winning 1-0. We didn’t let that get to…

after each catch. The conversation eventually dies down due to the increased distance between us that helps to strengthen our arms. Trying to push ourselves past our limits, our arms begin to feel a tired pain at the elbow therefore we walk to the dugout to take a break. Both the cool metal bench, that allows our muscles to rest from the strain they were just in, and the satisfying gulps of water, that relieve our mouths from the dryness inside, rejuvenate our bodies and prepare us for our…

called names by Chapman, Robinson storms off the field into the dugout smashing his bat into the wall and having it break into pieces. This scene focused on the pain Robinson endured of being racially profiled. Although, this scene is historically inaccurate, there is a bit of truth that lies within. Phillies manager Ben Chapman did actually did say racial slurs to Jackie, but Jackie never had that breaking down moment in the dugout. Actor Chadwick Boseman, who plays Jackie Robinson in the film…
