It was Saturday lunchtime. The hot summer sun beat down on the faces of the families in the stands during the last Little League game of the season. Moms, finding comfort in the familiar faces of friends forged through three months of uncomfortable green bleachers, bee stings and sunburns, chatted casually about the back-to-school sales for the upcoming year. A handful of men, still intently focused on the games, paced by the backstop, shouting advice to their progeny, perhaps envisioning a…

On March 23, 2009 Japan outlasted South Korea to take home its second consecutive World Baseball Classic. After easily defeating Cuba three years earlier, this time it took extra innings to defeat the South Korean squad. The early star was Seattle Mariner pitcher Hisashi Iwakuma. Iwakuma limited the South Korean bats to only a pair of earned runs on four hits. One of the four hits off Iwakuma was a 5th inning homerun by fellow Major Leaguer, the Cleveland Indians outfielder Shin-Soo Choo.…

Potential variables in testing distance on golf balls as a result of dimple depth and dimple shape that need to be controlled are the type of golf ball, their construction, the type of golf club, the type of swing used, the tee height, wind, and the turf hit off of. In order to take care of the golf ball construction and type of golf ball, I will do extensive research on each ball. I will conduct my experiment at an indoor golf simulator where they can measure the trajectory of my shot, this…

“Easy-out!” I hear snickers from the opposing team, while my own team holds their breath. The pitcher rolls the ball towards my eight-year-old self, pity in their eyes. It skids towards me, and I kick it away, pathetically slowly. Just as they predicted, I am out. For the rest of the summer camp, I avoided all the kickball games in shame. For years afterward, I tried to avoid competition and conflict of any sort. I stayed away from card and board games, and when my classmates shrieked with…

Walk off. The most exciting play in baseball. The second the walk off ends, the game does subsequently, the only thing left to do is look back on how exciting the game was and of course, walk off the field... We’ve been taken out to the ballgame, we’ve eaten all the peanuts and crackerjack, we’ve root-root-rooted for the home team, and now the baseball season of 2012 was coming to an end. Lodi was coming to town. A team thinking back to the last time we played, they left the diamond on top 17-3…

Canada to win the first gold medal in basketball. In 1949, the National Basketball Association, also known as the NBA, was born. The NBA started with seventeen teams, but by 1954 only eight teams still participated. Later in that year, the NBA changed rules and now thirty teams around the country play today. It wasn’t until 1996, the Women’s National Basketball Association was established and it was a huge success. Today there are only twelve teams in the WNBA, but the program is still…

The exclusionary rule is a rule that is available to a defendant in a criminal case that is a remedy for an illegal search that violates their Fourth Amendment rights (nationalparalegal.edu.com. n.d.). Furthermore, one of the most important corollaries to the rule is the “fruit of the poisonous tree” doctrine. Unfortunately, like all rules there are some exceptions to this rule. One of the exceptions is when a police officer has an independent source of knowledge besides that of the fruit of the…
