Major League Soccer

longest sport I’ve played. A total of 9 years in Khoury league and 2 years in high school, so all in all I have been playing this sport almost all my life.

Most of them ended up being with me until we couldn't play khoury league anymore, and then only about 3 or 5 of them…

Baseball is the prefect sport for all season long. Getting dirty in the sand, making awesome plays, hitting home runs, and making your own team, that is cool. It does not matter where you are, as long you have a baseball bat, a glove, ball, time, effort, and leadership, and sport man ship. Does not matter if you are in the street, backyard, garage, or a football field. It also shows you a valuable lesson, even for me sharing. Yep that is it sharing, you take turns to bat, get the ball, and play…

The Difference Between the Eras of Baseball “In 1936, in Cooperstown, New York five charter members: Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Honus Wagner, Christy Mathewson, and Walter Johnson were elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame” (History.com staff).

Pow! First hit of the game and I am sprinting hard to each base “get down! get down! get down!” my coach screams as I am running to third base. It all started when I was only four years old. It was tee-ball at first. When I turned six years old I started playing coaches pitch. Then, I turned eight years old that’s when the real excitement came in with fast pitch softball. I have realized that the passion I have for softball is very strong. Softball has really helped me establish honorable grades…

advocated strongly to secure his spot in the league because he would win games. This notion supports NFL’s Vince Lombardi’s statement, “every time you win, you’re reborn and when you lose, you die a little”.
