Right-hand rule

It’s the top of the seventh. We have a pitching substitution. Fernando Rodney replaces Trevor Cahill for the Cubs. Matt Carpenter is up to the plate. It’s called a strike! The Cubs fans here at Wrigley go crazy! He takes ball one. It’s a beautiful night for baseball. Oh, he takes ball two. Oh, a swing and a miss for strike two!! The fans here at Wrigley field are up on their feet cheering and going crazy, pushing Rodney to throw a third strike!! The fifth pitch goes foul. The Cubs fans are…

It was a cool, dry morning when the team rounded up. Our coach had notified the team that we were in risk of elimination. The faces of my teammates were as hopeless a rose in a desert. As a captain, I spoke out and tried to lift our spirits with a speech. Baseball is such an unpredictable sport, I said. The time spent on the practice field was for moments like these. With our backs against the wall, we had to put up a fight against four other teams. And that was just to make it to the…

Changing the Playing Field It’s go time. We take the field and get ready to throw down. Everyone is ready to give their best to the challenging task at hand. Every last ounce of energy is about to be used, so hopefully everyone has been saving it up. We start and the pace is immediately quick. Everyone is on their toes, making sure to avoid the people coming at them. Each move must be as precise and accurate as human error can allow. Muscles burn and oxygen seems to be depleting quickly, but we…

Born in Burlington, Vermont in 1946, Theodore Robert Bundy was a wicked child of Louise Cowell which during the next few years they spent living with Louise’s parents. There were speculating to believe they led Ted and others believe that his mother was his older sister. Others believed it was during this time that Ted had been traumatized by his aggressive grandfather. It was not until at age four Ted and his mother moved to Tacoma, Washington where Ted’s mother went on to marry an army cook,…

Hunter Eikenberry “Walkoff” It was going to be a hard day, and it was a big day. Everyone was happy about today. My family and I woke up in the morning feeling great. We went down into the lobby of our hotel to get some breakfast. Then we went to the baseball field where I was playing in the championship. We were playing solid and I was having a good game going three for three with one home run. We felt confident because we were the home team which meant we had the last…

The United States Supreme Court has established a long line of precedence in order to protect a person’s life and ensure the right decision is being made (Smart on Crime). Because of these precedents, every aspect of the case takes longer and is more costly. These delays and expansions are the major contributors to death penalty expenses, not the actual deed of killing a man…

legit. I was playing shortstop and once he got to second base he decided to talk to me and say that we were gonna lose because he was better than everybody else. Levi ended up coming around to home plate and scoring a run for his team and he kept right on talking and showboating.…

WVU picked up right where they left off when Game 2 got underway. Sophomore Kyle Davis led off the first inning with a double to center field and advanced to third on Freshman Darius Hill's fly ball to right. Ivan Vera grounded out to shortstop Kyle Wrighte, scoring Davis. Jackson Cramer gave the Mountaineers a 2-0 lead when he drilled his eighth home run to left center. Senior southpaw Ross Vance got in some trouble early in the third inning. He gave up a one-out double to W&M's Matthew…

athlete Mickey kept busy and in good shape; he played basketball and football, along with baseball. While playing on a semi-pro team at the age of 16, a Yankees scout came to watch his game to see their third basemen play. By being in the right place at the right time Mickey was lucky enough to impress the scout with three monster home runs so he later returned in 1949 to sign him. He would then go on to win numerous awards throughout his career and become the best switch hitter to ever live as…

This photo is of a Washington State Cheerleader performing a full basket. To perform this stunt, 3 bases interlock their arms while the top girl stands crouched down on their hands. The bases dip down and then throw the top girl as high as they can into the air in a straight line as the top girl stands up. She performs a stunt when she feels weightless at the top of the throw. In this photo, you can clearly see that she is twisting her body on two different axes, but I will only be talking about…
