Every time that I run my fingers along the raised stitches of a softball, I think back to the time I played softball. My fingers needed to be in an exact position on the stitches in order for me to throw the perfect pitch. It’s a chapter of my life that doesn’t bring back all happy memories. I spent six years of my life being a star, and I’ll admit it. I had extreme talent when it came to playing softball. It was like I was born for the game. Everything came so naturally to me. But I wasn’t born…

They were riding him about being a southerner and playing baseball with a black man. Pee Wee didn’t answer them. Without a glance in their direction, he left his position and walked over to me. He put his hand on my shoulder and began talking to me. His words weren’t important. I don’t even remember what he said. It was a gesture of comradeship and support that counted. As he stood talking with me with a friendly…

Softball is a very fun sport to play. I have played softball my whole life. I have learned a lot over the years and I have practiced and played many times. I currently play for the Ardmore school team and a travel ball team. Softball has brought me out of my shy stages and brought me to life. First, a softball field is shaped like a diamond, and there is an infield and a outfield. When playing outfield you are on grass and while playing infield you are on dirt. On the field there are four bases…

I have played baseball ever since I was a young kid, but somehow, at seventeen I still had numerous struggles with it. You would think after my grandpa being drafted to the Pittsburgh Pirates, a Major League baseball team, and my dad getting a full ride to the University of Denver their skill would have rubbed off on me, but you would be wrong. I wasn't terrible, I could hit a 90 mile per hour fastball and I could, for the most part, field a ground ball. However, I was definitely not about to be…

Baseball”. Instantly my heart started to race and I could just feel the energy has taken over my body and mind. I ran down the baseball field and just stared like it was the first thing I had ever seen. Finally my dad caught up to me and he asked “what position do you want to play”? Infield, that’s where the action is dad! From that day on, starting each spring for nine years, I was outside practicing to be the best player I could be. Still to this day, even though I don’t play baseball anymore,…

The day was hot! It was the middle of July in Texas after all and the time was about 4:00pm almost the hottest part of the day, and although, it was in the mid-90s, the humidity made it feel like it was in the upper 100s. There was a nice breeze coming off of the bay which kind of made the weather bearable. However, the weather could not hold our excitement down or make us feel miserable because we were attending our very first baseball game. It was Americas past time and we could see why. You…

Baseball might be a complicated sport with a lot of rules and a lot of players; some people might even call it boring. But to me is a sport full of action and really tough plays where most of the action takes place at the home plate. This is because here stands the batter waiting anxiously for the pitcher to deliver the pitch, so he can try to hit it. In television those professional players make it seem very easy to hit the ball and do home runs, yet in real life a person can have some trouble…

Personal Narrative It was noon and I was at my house. My friend name was bobby. Bobby had dark hair and was wearing a white plain t shirt. We were playing a game we both made up.
