Baseball Is My Body

I grew up in a family of baseball players. My grandpa was the first to really get into then it passed on from my dad to me. Growing up I was always practicing or playing baseball. My father and grandfather taught me the basics and it was almost a new way of socialization. Having to learn baseball was like learning a new language. Playing baseball when I was young started as just fun. Starting at the age of 5 I never did much playing. I more so stood in the field and kicked dirt around.

Do you know the feeling you get when you’re doing the thing you love most in the world, for me that is baseball. My participation in sports influenced my skills in multitasking and handling multiple stressful situations at once. I play sports every season possible, teaching me about myself and all my friends on one team growing up into adults. I have maintained sports, grades, and jobs for four straight years without being ineligible one time. The people I am surrounded by around sports, young or old mold my future of being a successful adult. I thank every single coach, and teammate for helping me with all of my accomplishments, the biggest one being the Champion of a Varsity Baseball District Title.

Playing baseball has been my passion for my whole life. It all started with my father influencing the game to me when I was 6 due to a family tradition of playing baseball. Baseball brought a different life to my dad, as my dad grew up in a very poor and dangerous neighborhood where he was exposed to gangs,drugs,shootings and even killings. Everyday was a hustle for him having to constantly look behind his back. As my father was in a family of 7, being the second youngest of the 7.

I am so thankful to have had baseball be a part of my life. Baseball can be taught to a person, but you must have the drive and passion to keep pursuing it. I had very key points in my baseball career making Most Valuable Player, making the Junior varsity team, and also making varsity team. Most importantly it was my dad who drove me to baseball and the coaches took over from there. If It was not for my dad I would not of had a chance to play high school ball. He helped me recover mental and physically. Although I did not pursue baseball after high school I would not change a thing from the past. My advice to young baseball players is, “Stick with it when the going gets tough push through it and strive to be the

After years of learning, playing, and watching baseball I’ve come to the conclusion that it is the perfect sport. I have been obsessing over the sport since I was six and it has been my air for nine years. There are many reasons why I love the sport; it is challenging, so you can always become a better ball player. Baseball also is a game of strategy, that makes you debate whether or not to bunt, steal, or hit a sacrifice fly ball. America’s pastime is a very entertaining sport that leaves all spectators on the edge of their seat’s. Baseball is by far my favorite sport and is the perfect sport.

Baseball is my life. I love baseball so so much. I love everything about the sport. But in my opinion the best part about baseball is when your batting and you hit the ball right on the sweet spot and it goes right past a baseman or even an outfielder. And when your on base and you start stealing a base and your running and running and running and you make it, it feels good.

My family is the most important thing for me, I would die for them, I would do anything for them to keep them alive, and they would do the same for me. Sometimes I don't show any affection to my relatives, and that is what makes it difficult for them to communicate with me. I try to be affectionate with them, but I get uncomfortable or uneasy. But, aside from that, I still love them, and as said before, I will give my whole existence for any of them. Familia will always be there for you, no matter what, and if they are not, then I do not know what they are. A family is supposed to have your back, supporting you wherever they are and wherever you are, anywhere you go. Even if you think you are a grown independent human, you will forever need them, there will always be a moment where you will be sad and you will want to go back with your mamá or your papá, or even your abuelos, or uncles. And, let me tell you, no matter what you think, the past is in the past the present is the present, they will not care, they will forever love you, and will be happy to see you

Background information: This essay explains all of the reasons I love baseball and how baseball has positively affect me. The main point of this essay however is to try to put into word just how thankful I am for my parents introducing me to baseball and why baseball is the greatest game on Earth.

Baseball is an American sport and it has been a sport since the 1800’s. I started playing baseball when I was only four years old and I still play till this day. My journey in high school playing baseball had it’s up and downs. Not making the high school baseball team as a freshman was not a good feeling, but experiencing that feeling of failure made me a better baseball player in the up coming years. Baseball was very important in my life at the time. My parents just got a divorce and I was trying to learn how to live with that. Baseball was my place for happiness when I was growing up. I didn't anticipate learning an important life lesson that would define my love for the game even more then I already did.

Baseball captivates me and it has since the first time I touched a baseball. What got me into the sport was my mom, she wanted me to play every sport. I started with soccer, then switched to basketball,and then I played baseball and have not stopped since I was 4 years old. The thing that has kept me into it this whole time has been my coaches and friends. I have never wanted to put down a baseball,every time it's off season I sit there and I play catch with anyone that can. My coaches have went out of there way to teach me stuff I didn't even know.

There have been many variables that have played a huge part in my life to make me the person I am today. Certain situations molded my character and hardened who I was destined to become. A major factor that is part of my genetic code and has helped me perceive the person I am destined to become is the game of baseball. There is something about this great, traditional game that has grasped onto me and never let go. Even as A little kid, I would always go with my cousin to the baseball field and be mesmerized as the game commenced and progressed. The older I got, the more love I grew for the game, and soon enough, the game became an escape from whatever seemed to trouble me. It became not only an addicting getaway but an exhilarating way to

In my younger years, I have played a couple sports like soccer and baseball. As I grew up, baseball has always stood out the most to me. Something about running the bases and hitting RBI’s brings a thrill that no other sport can give me. So I play, and I play with everything I have because that’s what baseball makes me want to do. Sure in basketball and soccer I play hard and do what I can, but I know when I’m playing baseball that’s where I excel and exceed my own expectations. I started when I was five and have loved it ever since. Some things have kept me from it in the past but I can’t help but play.

“Are you ready to go out there on the ball field today?” said my father. “I love watching you play the sport you love,” I just woke up in a great mood ready to play some baseball. Baseball is probably one of my favorite sports and I never want to stop playing the sport. But today was the day I watch someone crank a home run and I realized that it was my dream to do that. Just thinking about people standing up cheering and my team just coming out to home plate and cheering and taping me. And also the best time on baseball is when you hear the ball and bat make contact. And I was hoping that today was that day...

I guess what I love most about the game is you can’t sit on a lead and run out the clock. You have to throw the ball over the plate and play out the results. I will say though I have a hard time watching the game on tv but if I'm at the ballpark or coaching it (which I'm currently doing so this summer) then I can watch it all day long. I think for me there is no other sport that relates to life so much like the game of baseball does. There are so many anthologies I can pull from the game and tie them to life but that's probably a conversation for another day. Baseball is a game of so many highs and lows kinda like how life is. Currently with the American Legion team I’m helping a buddy of mine coach we have experienced highs of winning by mercy rule and come from behind wins after being down 6-0 and winning 8-7 but we have also experienced the lows like losing a close game on a walk off and getting screwed by a horrible call at home plate that cost us another one. The pain of losing stings worse than the joy of winning sometimes. To relate one example from baseball to life is this everyone wants to be around you when things are going good in life but no one wants to do the same when things aren’t.

I was born in Independence, MO on November 14, 1999. I was born into a sports family. My great grandpa and grandpa started teaching me baseball as soon as I could hold one. My great grandma and grandpa babysat me while my Mom was at work. He would sit on the floor and roll the ball to me. When it got warmer, we would go outside and play on his deck. I have loved baseball ever since. Sports have always been my passion. I play baseball and basketball. I started playing basketball my freshman year of high school and started playing baseball as soon as I was ready. There was never a time in my life where I wanted to stop playing sports, never once. I have never had a coach that has made me want to quit playing. If I had a coach that hated me, I paid attention to myself and didn’t let him get to my head about playing the game. I am going to try so hard to go as far as possible with baseball. I want to play baseball for the rest of my life. It’s what I’ve wanted to do since I was in middle school. I’ve known what I wanted to do with my life for the longest time. Sports are “my everything” and
