On one pitch, a team can score four points if the bases are loaded and the batter hits a homerun in baseball. Assuming a legal delivery, a team can get six points on one bowl in cricket. A baseball game is typically nine innings. If teams are tied, they will go into extra innings. There are multiple different game times for cricket. One of the more popular types of games is a One Day International, ODI, and usually lasts for seven hours. Another type of game is the T20, it typically lasts three…

had to do. In 2013 they won 3rd place in the state tournament. So in 2015 we did something that Tahoma softball has never done, we clenched the 4A state title. By doing that it changed the way I looked at softball. Coming off a 3-2 victory in extra innings in the semi finals we wanted the win even…

isn’t the most televised in baseball game in history. Baseball didn’t even make the top 8 most watch watched sporting event. During the 2014 World Cup, which was held in Brazil, just in America 26.5 million tuned in to watch Germany beat Argentina in extra-time. The World Cup also created chaos on the web.…

Major League Baseball (MLB) was founded in 1869 in the United States of America. Nippon Professional Baseball (NPL) was founded in Japan in 1936. These 67 years and culture has made baseball very different between these two countries. Some of these are the fans of the game, the game itself, and the players. I have been to Japan and I have been to two professional Japanese game and I have been to nine MLB games this year. The biggest difference I saw was the fans. I like to go early and…

Someone Who Has Had An Impact On Me If I were to ask you what people have had the greatest impact on your life, whom would you pick? Some would say that a family member has had the greatest impact on their life, or maybe they would say a trip that they went on. The person who has had the most impact on my life is not only my softball coach, but also someone who has made me push myself to my limits. Christi Weiser has had a huge impact on the type of person I have become. I have played…

What would someone do if a new member showed up and created problems to the team they have had success with? Would you just ignore the problem at hand or step up and take a sacrifice for the team? Nobody wants the one kid who will ruin the team’s future. They only want them to be a team player. A team player is supposed to be a person who is willingly working in cooperation with others. I am sure everyone has had that one person on the team or several people who have not earned their role as a…

perform worse because of the phenomenon called self-fulfilling prophecy. A self-fulfilling prophecy is when initially false expectations cause the fulfillment of those expectations. So, kids with a “P” next to their name will respond to the teachers extra praise and attention positively and do better in class while kids without a “P” next to their name believe they won’t do as well as the “P” students, so they likely won’t work as hard, thus making that expectation come true.…

I remember a night when I decided to head into the TCU Recreation Center to get an extra workout in. I had so much pent up energy that I just had to get it out. So, up the stairs and to the stationary bike I went. These weren 't just any ordinary bikes though. These were the bikes that make the ride virtual- you could choose courses in the desert, through the mountains, or even short sprinting races if that suited your mood better. The resistance and incline increased and decreased based on the…
