Are the differences and similarities between baseball and soccer a blur? Not to worry, these two sports however complex they may appear will be sized up against each other. To understand any sport, one must understand that there are standards each individual sport has that not only players but also staff, such as coaches, must follow. Furthermore, each sport has different popularity levels and locations. Finally, the gear used during a game is different for each sport. It is difficult to…

the apparel of an sports person varies according to the sports they plays. It is very much obvious when one talks about the shoes. For example the spiked shoes are mainly contrived for playing baseball. It is quiet impossible for anyone to play football with the spiked shoes that are meant for playing baseball. So it is very much apparent for weightlifting that there should be a different kind of shoes. It has been considered in the world of sports that the weightlifting shoe is sort of…

When you look back on pictures of your early childhood, you realize how much enjoyment you had in the past, playing the sport you loved. For me, it was playing softball ever since I was a little girl and watching my sister play ball and longing to be just like her. I remember the long Friday nights that I thought would never end because of practice or the early Saturday mornings waking up at six o’clock to be at the field ready for warm up for another full day of softball. Looking back on those…

The baseball field is where I spend most of my weekends and evenings with my family “cheering” on my brother. In reality, when I get there, I have parents waiting for me to watch over the younger siblings of the baseball players playing that day. One of my favorite memories from the field was when I handed the kid I was watching a package of gummy worms, and he looked up at me with his smile hidden under his chubby cheeks. When I was younger, I would always look up to teenagers because I felt…

I started running as my player hit the box, I took off my cheats hit the ground they slammed pulling up the rubber beads as I ran. I set up against the player coming down I put my pole in front of me and poke the opposing player. It was a warm cool summer day with a nice windy breeze, I was in maryland for a lacrosse tournament. I was playing for my travel team Koopers and were playing against one of our rivales Crabs lacrosse we were both one of the best teams in maryland and top 10 in the…

Growing up in a small town, where success in the girl’s softball program was excellent, it was every little girl's dream to be a part of that program. When I was a little girl I remember sitting in the stands watching the varsity softball team play thinking about the day when I would get the opportunity to be a part of the program. As I grew older I would think to myself, if I had the chance to play for the program would I excel like all the other girls have done in the past years? Also, I…

Troy Maxson: A Villain and Hero The playwright Fences was written by August Wilson who is known as one of America’s most celebrated dramatists (1427). Fences is based on the life of Troy Maxson, an African American who hoped to play baseball in the Negro Leagues, but is now a garbage collector. In the playwright, Troy could be classified as both a hero and a villain through his words and family. Troy Maxson could be portrayed as an average African American who wants his child, Cory, to…

the players and coaches of our team, were the only people that believed that we could beat the Alton Redbirds. Since I was a little kid I’ve dreamed about playing varsity baseball for the Civic Memorial Eagles. It’s probably been every baseball players’ dream as a kid that has been to Bethalto. I’ve always went to their baseball camps and meet the coaches so they would know who I was every year. It would be an honor to wear that uniform and to represent your town and school. My dad and uncle…
