the field. I loved the outfield, it was my home. My last year of Little League was fantastic. Learning that I was the first draft pick was exciting. It was a little weird getting back into the motion of Little League. I had previously played a full year of baseball on a travel team. In travel baseball the fields are much bigger.

Yankees, such as Babe Ruth, Lou Gehric and Joe DiMaggio, are too numerous to enumerate. As a recent topic, Derek Jeter has put an end to his brilliant playing days last year and I believe that the number 2 on his back will also be retired number in Major League Baseball in the near future for sure. However, I do not intend to introduce the story of the heroes like them this time because, needless to say over again, their biography have been already well known for many people and I would like for…

1940s Sports David Ortiz is an African American baseball player that makes more that 15 million a year; it would take an average american to match his 1 years wage with 294 year’s of work.
