Not many were involved with Japan during the late 19th century. Baseball integration into Japan…
I saw the ball going low and outside at about 91 mph. I shuffled over, but not quickly enough as the ball caught me right where I did not have padding. I felt the bone dance out of place like a ballerina. I laid there, rolling in agony. After a few seconds the bone shifted back into place and I was yelling in pain. The coaches went running out to help me. Before the inning, I got all my catcher’s gear on and got ready to catch the fastest fastball in the league. JoJo Joseph threw harder…
To function as a community, people must collaborate and work together. As a member of society, I find it is very important to help the less fortunate in the community and do everything possible to advance ourselves as well as others. The finest citizens in a community value helping others over helping themselves. To me, the National Honor Society is made up of people who share these values with me. My first experience with community service came when I was just at the age of 9. Bartlett Little…
Dingers For Days “It’s a great night for baseball, the sun is going down, there is a slight breeze but it’s not strong enough to affect what the baseball is going to do. It’s the bottom of the 9th, the TIgers are down by one and Carter Ace is up to bat. He’s got two strikes on him and the next pitch is thrown and it looks like there’s heat behind it…..CRACK! It's going, going, going, and it's gone! Carter Ace hits the game winning dinger. The L.A Tigers win the championship game in regionals,…
Water Bath Canning Vs. Pressure Canning Food preservation has become very popular with food costs rising over the years. Even though freezing food is easy, convenient and fast, canning has become popular due to the long shelf life that canning affords. When canning, many decisions need to be made prior to starting the process. When I decided to start canning, I had to choose between the water bathing method or pressure canning method. When water bathing, the filled jars are prepared and…
All Elizabethan sports tended to include an element of gaming and gambling. Billiards is a forerunner to the Pool played today and in the Elizabethan era, they gambled while playing this game. Elizabethan sports during that era are very similar to the games that are played today. Although Elizabethan era sports can be a lot rougher and bloodier, they are almost the same as some modern day sports. Elizabethan sports had more of a brutal aspect in them while modern day sports have a skilled and…
“The announcement came the day before Thanksgiving, but there was nothing in it to be thankful for: An experimental Alzheimer’s drug many thought would slow the disease steady cognitive decline had failed to make a significant difference in a massive trial of people with early signs of the illness.” (Dolgin n.pag.) Unfortunately this is everyday news to people around the world and with this news comes a price (a very high one in fact) and many dangers. Consumers and patients are in danger when…
most agree was his best season ever. He played for a team that was labeled as the finest ever put together. This squad would help Babe succeeded higher than anyone thought he could. He would lead his team to a World Championship title, he hit sixty home runs, and received an American League pennant for his team (“Babe Ruth” Wikipedia). After years and years of success, every struggle along the way for Ruth seemed like a distant memory. He overcame all of the scuffles of his past to be where…
Million Dollar Arm is the kind of sports movie that crams everything subject-specific into quick-cut montages to make room for maudlin drama and fish-out-of-water comedy—a baseball flick where no one is actually shown playing baseball. It offers plenty of sideline pleasures—like seeing Jon Hamm do his disaffected Don Draper stare while watching Susan Boyle’s performance on Britain’s Got Talent—and a gaping hole in its center. Into this hole it tosses redemption arcs, romantic comedy cutesiness,…
