unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Pair this political belief with rock music and it’s plain to see why Shuya revered rock music, especially with the song Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen. How’s that for dramatic irony? Springsteen’s Born to Run, as they were on the…

the most part, they are a smarter team. In baseball, your team is judged by how well your team hits. If you want your team to go far together as a team, you all have to hit well. You have to hit to run and run to score and score to win. The only way to win the game, is if your team can hit and put some runs on the scoreboard. Chicago, by far, is the best hitting team. Shoeless Joe Jackson,…

FLORENCE— Do you smell it? That smell. A kind of smelly smell. The smelly smell that smells... smelly. As you surely know, that smell is the legendary Samuel “Stinky” Smith, who found his way to our school and didn’t even need to compete for a place in our hearts. Some may have always wondered where this true hero came from, which is reasonable because a man like this doesn’t come very often in life. Fortunately, through working with him in recent work with the Florence Chronicle, we have…

Why Baseball is a Classic Pastime. Obviously, baseball is a classic pastime in America. But, i am going to tell you why it is. It has a little backstory that virtually no one knows about. Between the K.G.B. and the mind control hotdogs and brainwash soda, it's pretty crazy. So, one day, the U.S.S.R. Комите́т госуда́рственной безопа́сности agents were bored and they had there beating sticks, grenades, and they had there s.w.a.t gloves, so they decided to hit grenades and catch them with their…

The first object I would say is one of my life’s artifacts would be art supplies. My art supplies are mostly made up of pencils and paints, such as colored pencils, watercolor pencils, oil paints, acrylic paints, and water based paints. This artifact is important to me because ever since I was a small child I’ve been drawing wherever I could. When I became older my older brother would sit with me and teach me all of the techniques that he used when he drew. Art supplies are an artifact of my…

They are also built to have more power in them. In the picture to the above, the bat on the top, is ash wood, and the one on the bottom is maple wood. (Stamp). In 2001 a San Francisco Giants player named Barry Bonds set the record for the most home runs hit in a single season. This was a record that no one thought was beatable. When the word got out that the bat Bonds was using was made of maple everyone wanted a maple bat, because players copy other players success. All of a sudden there was a…

Yes, the 27-year-old right hander finally looks like the pitcher everyone envisioned when he was a highly touted prospect six years ago. But the dominance he's displayed since mid-2015 doesn't — and shouldn't — erase the other five years of his injury-riddled career, which makes the Nats' extension a puzzling gamble that seems based on wishful thinking and a way-too-small sample size. Anything but a reliable rotation presence during his six-year career, Strasburg already has had five separate…

“He ripped it! He ripped it! It’s all the way to the wall! This guy’s coming home! Jordan’s at second! Stop Jordan! Yeah!” My grandpa blared into his phone speaker. On a warm day in the Summer of 2014, I geared up to play in my last baseball game ever. My high school baseball team had squeaked into its first playoff appearance in five years and we were set to play as the underdogs in the CIF playoffs against Ventura High School. After a hard fought game, we reached the top of the last inning and…
