Umpire

It was a memorable day for the entire Pujara family as India 's number three Cheteshwar Pujara reached his second successive and his ninth hundred in Test format on Friday, that too in his first innings as an Indian Test batsman at his hometown, Rajkot. Considering the match situation, it was a significant knock in many ways. India were 47 for 1 when the local boy Pujara came into the crease and along with Murali Vijay, played almost a match saving innings. Meanwhile, during the course of that…

His death was the best way to go for a wonderful all round person, sports fan, farmer, and especially grandpa. I was his first grandchild with him almost missing my birth when he had some errands to run, but my grandma told him she wasn’t missing her first grandchild's birth.

Like in Tuesdays with Morrie written by Mitch…

Remember back in high school playing sports everyday? Playing games every week and practicing everyday? But imagine getting paid thousands of dollars to do it. Sounds Great, right? That’s exactly what professional athletes do on a daily basis. They get to have fun and be kids again just because they get to play the sport they love. They get to live in big houses, and drive sports cars, and travel all over the country every week. This career is important because it keeps the people watching the…

Romeo and Juliet is one of the most acclaimed dramas in the history of the English language. It is also one of the most topical, or at least subjective in its own morality. To say that the book is by any means subtle in its use of the ideals of destiny and fate is to do it a disservice. That said, the cliches that this story would have been heavily critiqued for had it been published today didn’t exist during the time of the story’s original creation. Speaking to this, it’s almost contrived that…

Yes, it is that easy, up until you actually have to compete for a spot on your team. When actually there is way more to it than that. Baseball also has many positive aspects to it, both mentally and physically to the human body. I want to do this paper over how to become a professional baseball player because that has been my dream since I was…

As I saw the pitch come in it was right down the middle, I did not swing just to make sure that my timing was down. “Strike one” said the umpire. I got set up again in the batter's box and took one deep breath and one mighty swing as the pitch came in, and the ball flew off the bat.
