Pitcher

trust yourself!” We broke off as a team running to our spots. We all knew what this game meant, for the seniors it might be their last game in high school. Some people would never play on this field again, that put a lot of pressure on us girls. Our pitcher, Grace, was really nervous before the game for her this…

architectural wonder but because it brought back to mind that very first lesson when Professor Van Huevelen sparked my curiosity when he said we find that there are some things in this world that are repeatable. Repeatable. Repeatable. So a baseball pitcher, if he throws a ball with the same speed and in the same direction, spinning the ball the same, it'll end up going about the same place. And then that repeats itself, so it almost seems like there must be some rules that govern that behavior.…

home runs ever in a season. However in the past nine seasons, twenty six teams have accomplished this once unheard of feat (Verducci 39). 40 year old pitchers were aging backwards since the later years of the 1990’s. They were throwing just as good and as fast of pitches as the young twenty year old pitchers entering the league. Along with pitchers, Veteran hitters were still swinging the bat just as good as or even better than the younger players in the league. (Roberts and Epstein 28). It has…

Did I or did I not improve this year on the things I said I would. I improved in all the things I said I was going to improve in this year. This year I improved my grades at the end of each semester, I improved in baseball, and I improved in football. I improved myself academically by finishing up the end of each semester strongly. I improved several of my grades in the last week to get them up to As. By showing that I can finish a semester out strong I proved that I don't have to be perfect…

Almost everyone has been a part of our economic system at some point in their lives. For me, it was running a lemonade stand. As a child, I did not realize that something as simple as selling a cup of lemonade was part of our economic system. There are four factors of production inputs in which are used to make a profit and contributed to the economic system. Land- this is the physical place where the economic system begins. For an example, my lemonade stand which was constructed on my front…

This year, I participated in my theatre’s production of The Miracle Worker. I was privileged to receive the role in which I auditioned for. Acting in this play helped me understand character types and Gibson’s message of persistence. The role I auditioned for was James, as I wanted to play a dynamic character. Before, James was abrasive, passively expressing how he felt. In act 3, he dealt with his feelings. He accepted his stepmother, Kate, asking her to be his “friend,” (Gibson 86). Then,…

women were in low positions in the social classes, they participated in many things. For example, when the men went to go fight in the war, the women took many jobs such as carpenters, blacksmiths, and shipwrights. One important person was Molly Pitcher, “…took over at the cannon after her husband dropped from exhaustion.” This shows us that she was brave enough to take her husband’s place during combat. Another woman that did that was…

in various other sports activities or even in such positions as quarterback in football or as a pitcher in baseball” (Anderson, Stewart 141). There is no proof that Black people lack intellect to thrive in these positions but when this book was published in 2007, there was a small number of Blacks you played these positions. However, after the book was released there has been an increase in black pitchers and black quarterbacks. Also due to their economic constraints, sports that include…

Lennie how she used to be and what she desired to be before she married Curley. Curley’s wife says,’’An’ I coulda sat in them big hotel, an’ had pitchers took of me.”(89). Curley’s wife wanted to be in the pictures because she thinks that if she be in the movie or poster, she will be famous and everyone will know her and pay more attention to her. But the pitcher guy never sends a letter back to her, and she thinks that her mother is the one who hide the letter from her because she doesn 't want…
