The Missionary Position

“Be remembered!” echoes through my mind every time I get up to bat. From Tee Ball to now, softball has made a huge impact on my life. Ever since I was 5 years old, I have been playing the game that I love the most. Imagine standing on a softball field expected to perform at the age of 5. Even though the butterflies in my stomach were fixing to start a war, nothing was going to stop me from stepping on that field to play my first tee ball game as a Little Tiger. Fans cheered, but what I…

The Field The insane feeling that you get when running out to your position on the field butterflies in your stomach not thinking about anything other than getting there as fast as possible.

Hearing the umps yelling “let’s play ball” everyone cheering, first pitch is thrown heart sinks to your feet as you watch it spin till it snaps the catcher's glove, “Strike one” feeling relief your heart goes back to where it is suppose…

“That’s ball four,” the umpire called. I sighed, watching the runners advance to the next base on the field. I tossed the softball into my right hand, getting ready for my next pitch. I swung my right arm back, forward and around my head, finally releasing the ball with my fingertips as I had been taught. I watched as the ball spun in the air, travelling higher and higher, and then as it dropped behind the umpire. “Ball one,” the umpire exclaimed. Three pitches later, the batter walked to first…

It's the bottom of the 9th and Joe's team is down by 3. Joe's coach calls everybody into the dugout and inspirationally explains, ”We have been down by much more before. I believe in every single one of you. Now, go make this a night to remember. Get out there and show them who's boss,” said joe’s coach. The pitcher walks the first 2 batters and the New York Marlins bring in their closer. On the loudspeaker, it announces now coming in to pitch number #25, Bob McFarlane. Joe remembers hearing…

Our team had just finished the second game of the day in Cooperstown NY. We had already lost a game and we had to win the next game to move on. I was pitching this next game. I was prepared and then went to warm up. “10 minutes to game time!” the umpire yelled. We were the visitors team which meant we hit first. Everybody on my team was ready to play when the game finally started. The top of our line up went up to bat. We scored two runs in the first inning and then it was time for me to start…

I agree with you that John Rawl's theories of social justice are not unrealistic for for-profit businesses. As Guth and Marsh (2012) state, "public relations is the values-driven management of relationships between an organization and the publics that can affect its success" (p. 21). Through both of Rawl's points you are able to see this idea at work for for-profit businesses. When it comes to Rawl's idea of the veil or ignorance, as you mentioned, when decision makers are able to step back and…

I was walking up to the baseball diamond at Hyatt Elementary. I was eating a greasy piece of pizza. I saw the dark clouds in the sky, but I didn’t expect the rain to come, because it was hot and muggy. This is because it was June of 2017. When the game started we (my team and Fenton’s team) sang the “ Star Spangled Banner” on the 1st and 3rd base line. They were blaring it. We went on to the field and started to warm up. Soon as we started to warm up the umpires stopped the game for 30 minutes,…
