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.

Baseball is the greatest game that has ever been created. Many would try to argue against this, but they will be wrong because in baseball it is the only sport where succeeding thirty percent of the time makes you a good player. Additionally, the batter only has four tenths of a second to decide if the ball will be a strike or not and figure out whether they want to swing at the pitch thrown. In baseball you can run out the clock and hold onto the ball, you have to give the other team a chance to score. Baseball is popular in North America and parts of Central and South America, the Caribbean, and East Asia.

I woke up, and it was time to play baseball. Me and my Dad were getting ready to leave. I put my uniform on, grabbed my baseball bag, grabbed my cleats and left. We had to go to Fenton for the game. We stopped at the gas station, and got some snacks. We left and were on our way again. I checked my Instagram, and played games every now and then. I didn't know what position I was going to play, but I did know it was going to be catcher,pitcher, or 2nd base. It felt like the longest ride of my life, because I was ready to play baseball. We finally got to the baseball fields. We were walking trying to find what field I was playing at. I found my team (Dirt Dawgs) warming up. So I started warming up too. We still had a little bit before

Everybody has memories they will never forget. The first of mine is playing baseball when I was six years old. My dad had always played sports and I wanted to follow in his footsteps. Baseball was my dream at a young age and it all started with the Tigers. I’ll always remember stepping onto the field for the first time and feeling the excitement rush through me. I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to be the team’s starting catcher. I liked the feeling of being in command behind the plate and felt like I had some sort of control over the game. I don’t remember a whole lot about the first game, but I do remember my first hit. I can tell you that I’ve never felt so excited in my life as I connected with the ball and began running to first base. I knew that made my dad extremely happy.

I have loved the game of baseball ever since I was a baby. My mom tells me that when I was only two years old, my family went on a trip to see a Cardinal-Royals game in Kansas City. It was a rainy, ugly day outside, but my two year old self, without a fuss, watched the whole game, captivated from the first pitch to the last. Ever since then, I have loved every aspect of baseball. I love that it is a kid’s game, and it is amazing to me that so many grown men devote their lives to a game that grade-school children play while growing up. Another part of baseball that I love are the aesthetics of watching a great play. To me, there is nothing better than watching an outfielder give himself up to make a fantastic diving play, a batter crush the ball far over the fence, or a beautiful,

Ever since I could remember, I have always had a great interest and love for the game of baseball. As a kid, I would spend countless hours in the backyard with my grandfather, or even by myself, tossing, hitting and fielding a baseball. When I wasn't in the yard pretending to be Nomar Garciaparra I would watch the Boston Red Sox games on TV with my Grandfather.  Even in my early adolescence, as impatient as most are, I had the patience to sit there and watch the Sox.With my eyes glued to the screen with a look of anticipation fixed on my face ready to mimic my grandfather with the excitement of a home run hit or the frustration of Mo-Vaughn striking out. Call me crazy, but I was addicted, even as a young boy, to Boston Red Sox baseball.
