Down the grass hill past the electrical box, once used as a bike jump, lies a place that holds many memories and a special place in my heart.

As the day went on we begin to go to the pediatric ward and it was my turn to visit the resident in the room, in there was a boy no…
In a game of failure, it’s only expected that failure would be around each corner. Every pitcher has a bad start, from Clayton Kershaw to a pitcher trying to make a level three team, I have found myself in this exact situation several times. At Lakewood High School around midsummer I was scheduled to pitch against one of the best teams we would see all season. This was Team Colorado. Not only was each pitch laboured but my arm was sore and my legs were weak. From the time I began my warm-up in…
