Umpire

ready because the catcher was going to throw that ball to me. The ball was released and in the corner of my eye I see the girl running so I run to the base, the catcher throws me the ball; I catch it and get the girl out. “She’s Out!” I heard the umpire said and all I hear is cheering. We run to the dugout and Coach tells us the batting order I am third to bat. I get my helmet on and watch the two girls in front of me bat. The first girl gets a hit and runs to second base. The next one gets to…

softball game was underway, and I could already feel the perspiration rolling down my spine. A light breeze kicked up, but administered little relief from the suffocating heat. Inhaling deeply, I took in the fragrance of the freshly cut grass. The umpire bellowed, “batter up!” and I spit out the last of the salty sunflower seeds that were in my mouth before advancing into the batter’s box, shirking the crisp white paint that merged with the agar-lime in numerous spots left over from the…

jobs of referees or umpires. There are various ways that technology could take over sports or other professions. In the future there's a possibility that most of the world's population will not have a job because a machine took over them. I have a goal to be a professional baseball player in the future.

There were 2 minutes and 30 seconds left in the game. Bases were loaded, and there were 2 outs. I was at the plate. We had played our hardest, but we knew it was all over. I was the Dodgers’ last hope of ever making it to the World Series. We were up against the Giants. Literally. We were all 8-10 year olds, and they were like 13. I had absolutely no chance. The score was 3-0, Giants. I was the little girl amongst boys. As I finally built up the courage to step into the box, that’s when I heard…

During a regulation game, Roberto Alomar lost his temper and ended up spitting in an umpire’s face. When he was up to bat, Hirschbeck, the umpire, called a ball by the pitcher a strike.

Instead of leaving, he proceeded to yell at the umpire even more and later spit in his face. The next day a picture of Alomar spitting found its way to the internet and went viral. This incident…

Most of us at this trying moments would wish to have an umpire that would take our cries to God and perhaps get answers to the questions that we ask at those…
