Positions of authority

“Good eye, Matt! I would hear from beyond the dugout as I took the first pitch at bat. The pitcher wound-up and threw in the second pitch and I swung. I missed terribly, and my coaches thought so, too. “C’mon Matt, that was practically in the dirt, what are you swinging at?” I thought back to the first pitch and the chants that followed it, “Good eye, Matt” and “Way to watch the ball come in, Matty Boy.” I couldn’t help but think of all the irony surrounding these comments. The fact of the…

game, I warm up by taking ground balls. As simple and meaningless as this sounds, it is one of my favorite things to do. Every single ground ball I field, I field with passion. Each one means something. As the game starts, everyone takes their positions. Before the first pitch of the game, I glance over at the second baseman. We both nod,…

happened to me before. I’m going to show you how to bunt effectively in three easy steps that my coach taught me. The steps will be to be in the right position and twist your hips, bunt the ball, and run. The first step is to you need to twist your hips and be in the right position. First you want to be in the right position. There are five positions on the plate. It starts at 0 and ends at 4 (show them). Then you need to wait for the pitcher's hands to make a capital L shape before twisting…

In my sophomore year my baseball team qualified to the state championship game. In high school sports that is the highest stage you can reach. It was the dream of a lifetime to play the championship game at Volcano Stadium. I was so nervous, but I was able to keep my cool during warm ups. The game did not start the way we wanted it, we played terrible the first four innings, making many errors and mental mistakes that cost runs. The game was starting to favor the other team by a staggering…

light upon Rawls' theory of the "veil of ignorance." Through this theory, Rawls' focuses on highlighting the importance behind the formation of a society from an "original position" where each individual though thoroughly informed about the facts of the world, is oblivious about himself in terms of his social status, class position, wealth, health, natural talents, opportunities, characteristics etc. The idea behind Rawls' theory is for the individuals within a society to think beyond their own…

as the left fielder in baseball. Playing this position was always easy for me. When I estimated the trajectory of a ball speeding through the air, I could always run to where I thought it would be and catch it. It was as if the outfield became my home, I was comfortable there. One day during practice, my coach told me to try and play as the first baseman. This position was so much more difficult than playing in the outfield. Switching to this position is one of the hardest things I have ever…

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 in positions. It is a very good sport for your heart, your soul, your brain, and your health. Plus that is not the fun part, when you get into a tournament or World Series, that’s when hitting a ball, making good plays, and playing very good defense…
