Hard work can lead baseball players to setting records. One of my goals is to set records and to be known for breaking them especially the players that I think are good and I like to watch. One of the main reasons I would like to break records is because I look up to most players on the Chicago Cubs.

It was a nice summer day when my father took me to my first Yankees game. “If I saved a quarter a day for life, do you think I could have that one day?” He replied “Put your heart into I, and you can achieve anything.” I was referring to a player’s car that drove by that was glowing as it passed by. I knew it was a player’s car, because he drove to a designated parking lot labeled “Players Garage.” It was beautiful out and there was something eccentric in the air. I’ve never seen the Yankees in…

fact that this was going to be it, next season was finally here. Finishing the first half of the season with a 6-15 record has brought all the noise to a screeching halt. I want to believe that the remainder of the season will be a reflection of the series finale in Pittsburg Sunday, the Cubs won when they absolutely had too.

As he explains in his article, the plaintiffs in this case — Garber v.

Sox has always been one of the most iconic professional baseball teams, even winning the inaugural 1903 World Series (then as the Boston Americans). This fame would only grow in 1914 when they came across a strong left-handed pitcher with an even stronger bat known as George Herman “Babe” Ruth (Britannica 2014). With Ruth, the Red Sox won 515 games and lost 359. They also won 3 World Series in the 6 years in which Ruth played with them (mlb.com). Babe Ruth and the Boston Red Sox were well on…

We sat on the hot metal of the bleachers outside of the baseball field. The rainy days of Spring were replaced with the sweltering heat of the Summer, and hearing the clink of a baseball hit a bat in the Summer had become a tradition for almost five years. My older brother Dakota had spent those years being bombarded by sweat, mud, and the encouragement of his family, friends, and coaches when the team needed to hit a ball or when he wanted to show off how much better he had gotten since the…
