Extra innings

People think that football originated from softball, but that’s not the case. The first game of softball was due to a football game. On Thanksgiving, 1887, some alumni were at the Illinois Farragut Boat Club in Chicago waiting for the outcome of the football game of Yale vs. Harvard. Yale won, and when this was announced one of the Yale fans tossed a boxing glove at one of the Harvard supporters. They swung a stick, and the rest of the people in the group became intrigued. A reporter named…

baseball artifacts, and had a little souvenir shop which i got a Harry Caray shirt at. I rode a ferris wheel, played putt-putt, and rode a slingshot. Went to this pizza place and I had the best meat lover’s pizza i’ve ever had. It was thick crust, extra sauce, tons of meat and topped of with some cheese but not a lot. To top it off we went to watch White Sox play the Los Angeles Angels. The game got rained out but we still managed to have a great time. While we were were waiting I ordered the…

it up. We never truly came together as one unit. We still had a winning season, and even hosted the region tournament. Region tournament really began to show how the bad attitudes were affecting our team. We easily beat Manchester first in three innings, but the second game was a very different story. There’s no way of denying that Heard County is an exceptionally good team, but they also have their weaknesses. In the region championship game, they found every weakness we had. They especially…

What I’ve found is that some students don’t find comfort in academics but they do in extra-curricular activities, this helps students find their ease and alleviation. Students may benefit from these sports such as staying physically fit and healthy. It is naturally important because it is a necessity in our bodies and is essential in our…

It was crooked from the start. On October 1, 1919, in the bottom of the first inning of the first game, White Sox ace pitcher, Eddie Cicotte, struck leadoff batter Morrie Rath. This signaled a consortium of gamblers that "the fix was in," as Chicago players had agreed to throw the World Series in exchange for various sums of money. Eddie Cicotte, Claude “Lefty” Williams, Joe “Shoeless”Jackson, Oscar “Happy” Felsh, Arnold “Chick” Gandil, Charles “Swede” Risberg, Oscar “Buck” Weaver, and Fred…

It was pretty cool my aunt said she knew who drove it and that he worked with her. Once we got home we all got ready to go to the Dodger game that night against the Diamondbacks. The Dodgers lost that night but it went into extra innings so atleast we got to see some extra baseball and my dad had a great time since he’s been dreaming of going to Dodger stadium since he was a little kid. Then we went home and had a cake for my sister and then went to…

said forget the baby out of spite for Troy but Rose’s religion was used in a very good way now that a would be motherless child has a mother. Rose commits a godly act. “Fences” is built around Troy’s infidelity as “the plays conflict centers on … his extra marital affair” (Ogoanah 213). What Ogoanah is saying here is that with Troy’s infidelity considered if Rose would have acted differently that would have affected a key story line of the play as Raynell would have grown up without a mother.…

We were off to the airport. We flew out of Dulles Airport and got on the U.S. Airways airplane. I got the aisle seat and my dad got the seat right next to me. The trip to Boston was a good hour and a half. The plane was delayed an extra thirty minutes because it was raining like a hurricane in Boston. When the plane finally alighted to the ground, I took off the plane like a bullet. I was so excited! We got our luggage and had to get to our hotel because the game was that night…

The crisp breeze rustled my hair as I walked out of my house on the fall September day with my dad drilling instructions into my head. It was my first Little League baseball game ever, and my dad wanted to make sure it wasn’t my last. Being seven years old and never touching a baseball was something that had scared me; a lot. I had no idea what to think about this foreign, petrifying, game could possibly be about. The car ride from my house was only a few minutes away from the fields where I…
