From that point on all I did was softball, it was my safe place, my other home and the one thing I knew I could do something great in. I would always want to just throw with my dad or my brother, as little as I was I wanted to show them that I could catch the hard balls they threw. Of course though, I couldn’t but I was in the process of getting there. This 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 bat. They changed pitchers by the time i got up, and this kid was huge, at least 6 feet which is crazy for a 15 year old, he had broad shoulders and a mean look on his face, i was average height for my age which was around…

new movement the problem of racial inequality has been around since slavery was abolished. 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. Rosa Parks refused to give her seat to a white man and became a paragon of the civil rights movement. Similar to the BLM movement, both Jackie Robinson’s entrance into the MLB and Rosa Park’s refusal to submit to a white person’s…

and experience the love for the game. Baseball, a game of 4 bases, 3 outs, 2 teams, and one successor - but the outcomes are unlimited. A sport either loved to be played or loved to watch, but for many it’s a game with which one grew up with and a strong love was formed. However, there’s always a limit, an extent to how much love and passion one has for the game - how hard you work to play the game for as long as you can, in hopes you make it to the pro league. Many think that the hard work, the…

believe that my application would be incomplete 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. Almost every weekend since then was spent on the road at a travel baseball tournament, whether it was playing for my team, or watching…

in this world, what would come to your mind? If you were to ask me, it would be baseball without a doubt. Because baseball is my passion, it has changed my life significantly. Baseball has put me in a wonder situation in my life right now. As a little kid, I played baseball in the Euclid Boys League. I started playing in the first grade, a year later than most of the kids on my team. I wasn't that superb of a player starting off, I was just another kid on the team. Even though I wasn’t as good…

Odysseus has shown many traits of being a hero in the epic poem The Odyssey when he finally returns home and returns to his loving wife, but my vision of a hero is just a tad different. My hero is Mike Trout, he is the center fielder for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, and he is my hero because he is a kind, caring, and a great athlete. All traits that make him a hero. Mike Trout has made some genuinely considerate donations to charities such as Feed America and Free the Children, but what…

Crack! The sound of the baseball hitting the bat and the sound of fans cheering the Red Sox on Sunday Night Baseball are wonderful sounds at a ball game. The smell of Popcorn and Cracker Jacks fills the air of Fenway Park. This is all great at any baseball game, but it’s most enjoyed when you're with a person you love. This all happened when I went on a trip to Boston, Massachusetts with my dad for his birthday. This experience started in Spotsylvania,Virginia where we were giving my dad…
