His death was the best way to go for a wonderful all round person, sports fan, farmer, and especially grandpa. I was his first grandchild with him almost missing my birth when he had some errands to run, but my grandma told him she wasn’t missing her first grandchild's birth. He was an amazing person and always showed love and care for everybody even with his stubbornness. He came to every game no matter where the game or tournament took place. Like in Tuesdays with Morrie written by Mitch…

This is taking place on July 13, 2018, my baseball team and I are playing in the Kansas State Championship for baseball. It’s the bottom of the 9th and we are batting right now. The score is 10 to 10. We need one more run to win the game and we have Camron on third base. Let’s just say we thought we wouldn’t make it this far. Trust me, we thought we were a complete blowout. 7 months earlier It’s February 2018, we just started our season, but our old coach stopped coaching us last year. Also…

Slow-pitch softball is a much safer and easier game to play. The players barely get any injuries. Some girls will be able to hit a ball at a slower speed much easier.

Pink Ice in the Urinal: This chapter opens by talking about the masters, and how one year Herman Miller was invited to go to the masters so in order decide what to do they formed a few committees to discuss how to spruce up the facility. One person mentioned that they could put pink ice in the urinals. I thought that this was absolutely crazy, because how would the color of the ice change anyone’s opinion about the facility as a whole. This chapter focuses on all the little things that a company…

First Home Run The pitcher steps on to the mound and is ready to pitch, and whoosh in comes a fastball and crack the way I hit the ball sounded like banging a hammer on a piece of metal and as I took off running I watched the ball sail out of the park for my first home run. As I rounded second base I could hear the voices of sister Larissa my mom Leeann and my dad John screaming for me and could feel a lot of excitement from the crowd. In this story I am going to tell you about when I hit my…

Ever so slightly lifting his leg, he put it back down again, like a deer out in the woods searching for food. Deserted and scared; walking, fading into the distance the man goes with scorch marks all across him. Blood dripping off his body; his clothes mangled and torn. His face is wracked with pain. His eyes, crystal blue, now show the anger and hatred he has. Only a few pieces of hair cling on to his body as the majority of it is now gone. Many gone and yet so many gained. His ashen face…

Case presentation The movie that I have chosen this signature assignment is “The Rookie.” This particular movie is about a man who loves baseball growing up as a child. His father was in the military while he was young and they move from place to place. This young boy would get on the baseball team at school and his father would pay little attention to him and what he love to do and that playing baseball. The father never went to any of his games and he was very sad about that. One day the…
