Salvation Run

Case presentation The movie that I have chosen this signature assignment is “The Rookie.” This particular movie is about a man who loves baseball growing up as a child. His father was in the military while he was young and they move from place to place. This young boy would get on the baseball team at school and his father would pay little attention to him and what he love to do and that playing baseball. The father never went to any of his games and he was very sad about that. One day the…

A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than themselves.” That almost perfectly described my baseball coach. Joe Henning. The only thing off about this quote that's different from my “hombre” (he sometimes calls me) is that “gives his or her life.” He at least gets a 2 month break!! When baseball season comes around his plan is go to work, baseball practice then go to bed. Three times a week not counting the extra hitting practice we have on occasion. One of…

You may only be at a ball park to witness a no-hitter once in your entire life, if ever. But to be on the team that is throwing one, an even rarer accomplishment. The possibility of being the pitcher to actually throw the no-hitter itself, almost the rarest feat in all of baseball. Excitement, adrenaline, rushed through me every time I threw the ball to home plate, and knowing that I was one pitch close to keeping the opposing team hitless. While playing some may think you feel the pressure of…

It was August of 2015, and I was excited to get to college. I didn’t know what to expect. I knew I was ready to get out of my house and move a hundred miles away to live on my own. My only real worry was I wouldn’t be able to see my girlfriend, Ariel. Ariel is my girlfriend who is in high school. She’s a year younger than me, but 2 grades below. Her eyes are such a bright blue; They almost look fake at times. She is 5’7”, and fits under my arm perfectly. She has long, thick wavy blonde hair that…

In the movie Moneyball (based on the book Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game by Michael Lewis), Billy Beane attempts to form a competitive baseball team for Oakland Athletics by assembling undervalued talent through a sophisticated approach of Sabermetrics. As demonstrated in the movie, a strong team can be built with empirical analysis of the game, answering objective questions and making data based decisions in athletic recruitment as against prejudice, wisdom and gut instincts. The…

In the Momona Ethiopian Journal Of Science, in an article titled “Investigating the Relationship between Team Cohesion and Self-Presentation among Different Competitive Team Sports of Ethiopian Universities”, T.A. Haddera (2016) was looking at cohesiveness within a team dynamic, “because it’s not only associated with group level outcomes such as performance but also with individual outcomes.” Again, this reinstates that there is a paradoxical nature to team sports in that you have individuals…

When I grow up I want to be a MLB baseball player there are many reasons why I want to and what position I want to play. When I grow I want to play professional baseball.

Alaniz 1 Baseball has been around for centuries. Baseball is also known as America’s pastime. Baseball was branched off from many different sports as in, stoolball, cricket, and cat and dog. Some may ask “what is cat and dog, and what does it have to do with baseball?” Cat and dog is a game that was originated in Scotland where a piece of wood called cat, is thrown at a hole in the ground while another player tries to defend the hole with a stick called a dog. Odd, but interesting. Cricket on…
