Ding! The sound of when you hit the baseball. When the crowd starts yelling, and cheering. When you run to first base looking to turn to second base, and then you slide into second and the umpire calls you safe. The feeling of joy and happiness, for me that is baseball.

PEDs has always been in the mix when it comes to professional sports. Many athletes go to extreme levels to maximize their performance.

I lead the league in stolen bases, there’s nobody can field with me, but who cares”(Heinz 3). It takes something impressive to get someone’s attention and that’s exactly what happened. Heinz was grabbing the reader’s attention with his integrity with adding that in. Quote 2: “if I get a big hit or make the…

Breaking my nose playing baseball is my worst memory of ever playing the sport. It hurt like nothing I’ve ever felt before, and I didn’t even know what happened. At first, I had no clue what had happened. When I was ten, I signed up to play for my first select baseball team. They were from Waterloo and called the Blue Diamonds. I was only okay with playing for them because my friend Sam played with me. They had the tryouts in August, and we both made the team. We were a pretty good team and we…

Ever since I could remember, there was always a sports game going on my TV. It could have been a soccer, basketball, baseball game, it didn’t matter.
