I started playing soccer for my school in first grade and kept on playing till third grade when I stopped because I found a sport I felt was much more appealing to me in the way the game was played and the teamwork needed to play. It could also be fact that my dad told me I needed to play, which was fine because I wanted to play anyway. This sport is baseball, an All-American sport played by athletes who are not afraid to put themselves in front of a 100 mile per hour ball. Baseball takes a…

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.

God created humanity for community and fellowship, which is a perfect opportunity for baseball. The characteristics of baseball players often…

It was the bottom of the ninth, and the Yankees are currently up to bat. There are men on second and third base, yet only one out in the inning. One of our best pitches on the Cardinals roster this year, which was 1930. Jesse Haines was closing the game today. We were currently winning by one run, the score is 3-2 and all we have to do is hold them and the game is ours. Nevertheless, with our luck, Babe Ruth steps up to the plate. He is not a force to be looked down on, with his .359…

athlete has a remarkable year, or a remarkable night or even an amazing hit, most people will wonder if they had that remarkable milestone because they are taking steroids or performance enhancing drugs. If David Ortiz hits 100 home runs next year as compared to his 37 home runs in 2015, I’d like to think that it’s because he practiced harder and…

Bottom of the 9th. Bases loaded. 2 outs. Title on the line. I knew I would be the one to lead my team to victory and send us home. We had been battling the Harvard Westlake Werewolves for 6 grueling innings. A pitcher's duel to say the least, as Division I bound Kyle Nicol had thrown a shutout up until this point. Unfortunately for us, so had their ace pitcher, McCabe Slye. All of our hard work came down to this point. We came into this tournament against all odds. Our entire starting lineup…

-6- On Monday, I go to my first day of summer school. When I arrive, there is my old teacher, Mr. James. I say, “Hello, Mr. James! Lucky day! Guess what? It’s me! Francisco!” Mr. James says, “Yes, I see that. Please sit down. It’s time for our very first test. You did do the pre-reading, right?” I say, “I did not do the pre-reading. Or the reading. Or the post reading. I did not do any reading at all because it is summer and that is just wrong.” He says, “Well. Here’s your test. It is…
