Black players today are still going through struggles even after 70 years since Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier. Since the beginning of baseball, discrimination has always…

Friends plan a trip to a Major League game and share in the excitement. Ballplayers travel the country together while playing the game they love, becoming friends and often family.

As soon as my dad could put a glove on my hand the learning process began and after my first practice I fell in love with the game. 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.

Of course though, I couldn’t but I was in the process of getting there. This game…

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…
