where only blond haired people could play. If someone lived before Jackie Robinson, then that person would have had this situation. Baseball was a game where only white skinned people could play it. If it weren’t for Robinson fighting against the racial border line, taking abuse for his race, then the game of baseball wouldn’t be as diverse. When Robinson played baseball he played with a mission. First the Robinson family was close and he naturally would have played for them. “They faced…

Yet another overseas series defeat for India. Following a stream of success on sub-continental conditions (and on similar pitches in West Indies), this tour of South Africa has been the first exposure outside its comfort zone for this Virat Kohli-led team. And here we are, India, the No.1 Test side in the world according to ICC rankings, are 0-2 down after two Tests in a three-match series. The threat of a humiliating whitewash is on the cards and yet the skipper is not ready to answer the tough…

Math is used in Baseball in all different ways like when determining what the player’s batting average is, what the pitcher’s earned run average is, and the player’s on base percentage. These are just a couple ways math is used in baseball but they are on the more important side because they allow fans and other organizations to see your stats and see if you will be good enough to join their club and possibly help win the world series. Math is used in baseball with finding these three statistics…

Stephens Ballpark but we won the toss and we decided to be the home team. I was up to the bat with a runner on third and the game was tied 6-6. With two outs, the opposing coach wanted to walk me to bring up the next batter. So this was machine pitch baseball and you never got walked so this crazy/ Disrespectful guy tried to walk me and we said you can't do that. And so the umpires had to call in the director to the field and they just had this big argument about if they could walk me. While…

My freshman year of high school I went out for softball. I had loved softball when I was younger and had always been the star of the team. I wasn’t expecting to come in and be a hot shot, but I also wasn’t expecting to be the bottom man of the totem pole. We had a large team and the coaches knew that to get everyone playing time they would need to have some of us suit up for the first game and save others for a different game that would be easier. I was thrilled when coach said my name in the…

American and National leagues were different. They also talked about players like Mike Trout, Babe Ruth, and Clayton Kershaw. They also talked about how the Yankees were the best ranked team; they have over 20 world titles while their rivals (the Boston Red Sox) only had 8. Ever since the early 1900’s the two teams have been rivals. Baseball was famous around the late 1800’s. Baseball is referred today as America’s Pastime; many Americans have been playing for a long time. Today baseball is…

“Be remembered!” echoes through my mind every time I get up to bat. From Tee Ball to now, softball has made a huge impact on my life. Ever since I was 5 years old, I have been playing the game that I love the most. Imagine standing on a softball field expected to perform at the age of 5. Even though the butterflies in my stomach were fixing to start a war, nothing was going to stop me from stepping on that field to play my first tee ball game as a Little Tiger. Fans cheered, but what I…
