Individuals participate in rituals for various reasons. As explained in Baseball Magic by George Gmelch, athletes often participate in rituals for superstition-based purposes. These athletes tend to participate in rituals or taboo in order to improve their performance on the field. Alternatively, The Adaptive Value of Religious Ritual, written by Richard Sosis, describes that participation in religion-based rituals is often with the intent of improving the communication and cohesion of a group. Although Gmelch introduces ritual participation in the context of individual performance and Sosis in the context of group performance, both authors explain how rituals can benefit a given group or scenario. As an individual who has both witnessed and
If Major League Baseball decided to create an expansion team in Portland, Oregon, the name for the team would have to be something that would represent the city and its people. There could be several directions that the league could go in. They could reflect on Portland’s history, their traditions, landmarks, or what differentiates Portland than any other city in the MLB. While the NBA franchise of Portland chose the Trail Blazers, which represents the expedition of Louis and Clark, if I oversaw choosing a nickname for the Portland franchise, I would go with the Portland Pearls. Naming the franchise after one of the most popular districts in Portland, the Pearl District.
There are three diverse ways a baseball player can approach a season in school. You can do it for the draft, trusting you can swing baseball to a profession. You improve the situation the adoration for the diversion, and simply thank god for another chance to play the amusement you cherish. At that point, there are the ones who do it with the expectation of complimentary training. You can be every one of the three, however, most folks are extremely one dimensional with regards to this approach. When you go to the locker space for training and you simply envision what every one of your colleagues does, you truly discover an alternate everyone is from each other. Be that as it may, on the off chance that you separate them into these three classes, it won't take you long to do as such.
Many people don't understand the point in playing baseball. Why would someone swing a stick, hit a ball, and try to get back to where they started before the ball returns? What pleasure is there in that? Why not participate in a sport like wrestling or track where there is an obvious level of individual improvement and therefore pleasure. Well, I play baseball because of the love I have for the sport, and because of the feeling that overwhelms me every time I walk onto a baseball field. When I walk onto a field I am given the desire to better myself not only as an athlete, but also as a person. The thoughts and feelings I get drive me to work hard towards my goals and to be a better person. The most relevant
Around 11:30am I traveled over to Barfield Crescent Park to observe the Baseball field under the open sky. The weather was on my side, giving me a cloud filled sky with a slight breeze. Given I was outside, I was blessed a luminous, almost blinding, natural light from the Sun. Since I was here around noon the Sun was shining right above me, illuminating all off the field and the surrounding area perfectly. Starting out I thought the Sun was giving off a good amount of light. but by my first picture I could tell that the intensity was low and closer to a gray overcast. This was caused because of a cloud passing by the Sun’s natural light causing the light to diffuse more and seem darker. Natural light does not give off a color, therefore the

their team to teams with deeper pockets. The A’s have the least money of any major league team. The cards are stacked against them with no star players, no money, and no edge in scouting new players. About six months later, the team had won more than 100 games including a twenty-game winning streak in August. (2002 Oakland Athletics Season, 2017) How did they do it? By all measures used at that time, the A’s should’ve had a down year. They should have been one of the weakest teams in baseball. Despite this, they finished first in their division and tied for the most wins in the league. (2002 Oakland Athletics Season, 2017) The secret to their success was data driven analysis of player performance, which they used to find
