Of course though, I couldn’t but I was in the process of getting there. This game isn’t just a big part of my life, since I was nine years old it has been my life. I started travel softball when I was nine, I played all year…

character was of such good faith, umpires asked him of his opinion on plays during games on more than one occasion. Hoy gave honest answers every time, even if it would cost his own team. On and off the field, he was always a good sport. William Hoy never looked upon his deafness as a disability. He was a remarkable baseball player and a good person. Many saw Hoy as a role model. The aspects of Hoy’s life show that he is remembered for good reason. It is odd that Hoy isn’t in the hall of fame…

I would go back to the day where i could have won the championship for my team. It was a super hot day, about 95 degrees out and no wind, we had a big game that day and every one was nervous. It was the championship game versus one of the best teams in the country, the Florida Gators. The smallest kid on there team was bigger than me, these guys were giants. We keep up with them being behind only one run through out the whole game, it was the last inning with two players on base and I'm up to…

African American man who was a former baseball star in the “Negro Baseball League”. Troy is a complex character; he seems content in the beginning, but as the play goes on his personal conflicts become more evident. Though Troy is quite a piece of work, he is undoubtedly a good man who struggled to have it all together while also having it all, which in turn made him a modern tragic hero. All of the other relationships in the story evolved around…

Two examples of black people who had this struggle during their time are Jackie Robinson and Rosa Parks. Jackie Robinson was the first african american baseball player in the MLB.

if I did not write about baseball and the countless hours that I have spent working to perfect the craft. Since I was two years old, I have been involved in the game of baseball. I started by being dragged along on trips to my brother’s baseball games, until I was old enough to join a travel baseball team of my own.
