I want to talk about the players and the future of the league. The MLB consisting of 30 teams, 2 leagues (American and National) is one of the most increasing sports in…

My role model is Andrew Albers. He is a big brother to me and an inspiration in my life. It is not only what he accomplished so far, but it was how he did it, and the actions he had to take to get to where he is today.

While he has won many awards and has great achievements, he did not do this without any road blocks trying to stop him from being the…

I can say that this paper have been the best topic I have ever written about, next to the papers on Jesus Christ.

To learn about someone who lives in our time, who have fought so hard to bring about a better world of peace and justice it is wonderful to be able to write about such a great person. The Dalia Lama is referred to as “His Holiness” because he is the spiritual head of…

Baseball is America’s favorite pastime. Calvin Coolidge even said, “Baseball is our national game!” The history of baseball and the history of the United States go hand-in-hand.
