Of course, I’m being sarcastic. The only time it’s actually fun is when you’re annihilating the other team while they’re asleep on the field. Being on the other end of the stick in the situation makes you wish for a mercy on you and you can just go home and play Xbox for the rest of the night. Probably the only scary aspect of baseball is getting clocked in the jaw by an awful pitcher’s baseball. And uh… well, that happened to me. Ok, basically, I went up to the plate. I was feeling pretty good…

I started playing soccer for my school in first grade and kept on playing till third grade when I stopped because I found a sport I felt was much more appealing to me in the way the game was played and the teamwork needed to play. It could also be fact that my dad told me I needed to play, which was fine because I wanted to play anyway. This sport is baseball, an All-American sport played by athletes who are not afraid to put themselves in front of a 100 mile per hour ball. Baseball takes a…

It is a generally accepted and widely taught adage that money does not buy happiness, and that people should not focus on material objects.

I grew up an avid sports fan, thanks to my father. Together we watched and…

Although I made the team, I was surrounded by amazing…
