Nicole has been playing soccer for most of her young life. She is a model soccor player and is working on becoming a model student too. Her grades are great, but she has a habit of taking back to the teacher and starting fights with other classmates. Little Nikki is a starting Midfielder on her town's youth travel team. This means in season she has practise 3 times a week after school, and tournaments on weekends. Nicole takes a carpool to practices over the week, and Anthony and Jill take turns…

the steam wand. Pour desired amount of cold milk into milk pitcher, you will not use as much milk when frothing as you would when steaming, and the milk expands more when frothing. Purge the steam wand to clear tip of old milk or settled water, this is done by turning the steam on the espresso machine on and off for a second or two. Place tip of the steam wand inside milk and position the steam wand slightly off the center of the pitcher. Position and placement is the key to getting the milk…

Babe Ruth George Herman, also known as “Babe” Ruth, is perhaps the most recognized player in Major League Baseball. He is an influence to many Americans because of his persistence to conquer any impediments that were blocking his road to success. Fame was not handed to Babe, he became worthy of it; he is eminent because of his distinguished statistics. Babe Ruth was, and still is, considered the most elite baseball player ever to compete on a diamond; he set records that remained unbroken for…

eighteen will help teach both responsibility and self-control when it comes to drinking any sort of alcoholic beverage. Think of a Professional Major League Baseball (MLB) pitcher most likely he wasn’t able to throw or pitch fastballs going 95mph when he started. No, he had to gradually make their way up to that point. Starting small and building up is always a good thing, no matter what is…

One of the main differences, is the pitching style. The pitchers in softball use the underhand, windmill pitch, and in baseball, they pitch overhand. In fast pitch, girls pitch underhand because they have more power in their lower body, and that pitching style allows them to use their strength. The boys’ strength…

go in for them, this is most of the time. The players in the field all play and stand at a different position. Starting with out field, the three positions are right, center, and left field. Even though they are in outfield they all do almost the same thing. However they all have to move during each pitch and catch the ball and throw it back into the field. Infield has catcher, pitcher, first, second, third, shortstop. Almost all of their goals are to get the batters and runners on base out.…

may be very different than others. For example, a lot of the time in baseball there will be the outfielders, infielders, and pitchers and catchers practicing separately from the other groups. There are different priorities that each group needs to focus on and bring forward during game situations. When there is a pop fly hit into the outfield, you cannot depend on the pitcher to catch it because it is not necessarily their job to do so. However, the other players have to be able to depend on the…

let’s just say, whoever that sentence was directed towards was in for quite the ride. What came next after Coach addressed me was what I could have only dreamed of. Hard work and determination pay off, because eventually I earned the position of starting catcher. It was the first practice of the new season and I was terrified. I had just come from a terrible team, and have never really played above a rec level. As I walked into the cage at Whitmore Lake Middle School, my heart my heart felt…

The first game had Eddie Cicotte as the starting pitcher, which is the player that throws the ball to the people who are batting, for the Chicago White Sox. It seemed like the Sox would win that day because, as previously mention, Eddie Cicotte had won 29 games prior to the playoffs. However, the Reds ended up winning the first game of the series with a score of 9 to 1. Everyone was shocked about how badly the White Sox had played that day. Cicotte’s level of play was not what it usually was. A…

most American’s would argue that football has taken over as the most popular sport in America. But for those who truly admire the game, like me, would absolutely disagree. Watching two rival teams duel it out from the first pitch to the last, or a pitcher going for a no-hitter, nothing is more exciting. ''Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball,'' Jacques Barzun, the social commentator, wrote more than a quarter of a century ago. To better understand…
