The Run

I actually had to work to get a spot on the team. Luckily in tryouts, I do not try to hit home runs and actually made solid hits. I have always excelled in my position, right field, with zero errors; I was slightly cocky. I would have been fully cocky if my throwing was a good as my ego was. Although I made the team, I was surrounded by amazing players…

(about fifteen) his father died in a fight with one of his own family members they were both under the influence and George’s wife died under mysterious circumstances. While George was playing, in 1919 he hit 59 home runs in just one season. In fact George hit, in all, 714 home runs in his entire career. He made his final appearance in a dodgers game in 1943. (“History Channel Babe Ruth”) Then, in August 16th, 1948, The great Bambino died of throat cancer from all of the chewing tobacco and the…

was closing the game today. We were currently winning by one run, the score is 3-2 and all we have to do is hold them and the game is ours. Nevertheless, with our luck, Babe Ruth steps up to the plate. He is not a force to be looked down on, with his .359 batting average and his 153 RBI’s this season (Batting average is simply the number of times you get on base with a hit divided by the number of at-bats you have. RBI’s stand for runs batted in). Not to mention that he’s 6’2” and 215…

more involved with steroids. Superstars in baseball that hold the all-time records are linked to steroids like Barry Bonds, which holds the all-time records for the most home runs, Roger Clemons, one of the Best pitchers of all time , and Alex Rodriguez who is one of the fastest players to ever reach over five hundred home runs. So far football has kept a better image than baseball by enforcing stricter rules and informing players about things they must do such as, change the duration of the…

Today, most countries function under a regime of fiat money, in which a national currency has value based on government claims that it does. Operating in a fractional reserve banking system where banks only keep a fraction of all their deposits in reserve, it is the role of central banks to protect and preserve its value and ensure its stability (Plosser, 2014). Central banks play a very important role in the fractional reserve banking system, because their goal is to limit the freedom of banks…

Our coach brings in Nick to relieve Jackson. As a matter of fact, Nick struck out two batters and almost three. The count was two strikes three balls I know this because I was catching for this pitcher, but the very next pitch the batter hit a HOME RUN over the left field fence. After that some of us gave up. Some of us kept our heads up and kept believing. It would take the entire team working together for this come back to happen, not just one person. That wasn't the case for us only three of…

The physics of the game involves the starting speed of the ball and its velocity so that if the pitcher throws the ball harder – the batter will have fewer chances to score a home-run. The reason for that relies on the fact that the batter has to overcome the starting speed of the ball which travels in the opposite direction to the one that the batter wants. The baseball player hits the ball and loses energy to turn the ball in the…

What I was looking forward to doing my senior year, was leading my team as a senior to the best we could be. I was working harder than I ever had all winter long leading up to this. I had one goal that I did not see happen any of my four years there, which was getting to the state championship. There were a lot of things that had to go right for this to happen. The team had to be good, they had to work hard every day, they had to win districts, they had to win regional’s, and the most…

record belongs to Roger Maris, who in 1961’s season hit 61 home runs, and set a stage that has not been replicated with legitimacy, meaning without the aid of steroids and other PEDs. There was actually a movie created about Maris’s 1961 milestone, called 61* The three players that have broken Maris’s record were all on the influence and use of anabolic steroids (Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire). Sosa knocked sixty-six home runs in the 1998 season, which originally broke the record,…

single-season Homerun record. A-Rod has over 3,000 hits and is a 14-time All Star. David Ortiz is a 3-time world series champ. Jose Canseco is the first player to hit the 40-40 mark. (Simple Sentence) 40 home runs and 40 stolen bases in (prepositional) a single season. Ivan Rodriguez has the most home runs as a catcher. All of these MLB players have an asterisk next to their name on the lineup card. The asterisk does not mean that they are an all star; it means that they have been caught using…
