I Am Babe Ruth: A Chronological And Timeline Of My Life

One summer’s day in 2014, I borrowed my neighbor’s lawn mower and met my teammates at the batting cage. I began mowing down the weeds, while they raked. Others restretched the netting back across the top of the cage. By the time the afternoon came we had a batting cage and a real sense of pride. From that day forward, we began practicing every day, year round. We talked baseball, walked baseball, lived and breathed the stuff. We shared our equipment and made do with what we had. We turned ourselves from a rag-tag bunch of misfits into a

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.

I, Babe Ruth, had a major contribution to society, mainly the game of baseball. As I was becoming more recognized as more of a hitter than a pitcher while the “dead-ball era” was happening. I hit many home runs and broke records. My fans loved it; they paid attention to my full-swing hitting. With the style of hitting I had, it contributed to the revolution of baseball and now the “live-ball era.”

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.

It wasn’t that long ago when I became in love with the game of baseball. I still remember the day that my neighbor met me outside in the front yard just as we always did. It has been approximately two years ever since that Friday after school he asked me if I want to go to a Angel’s baseball game. I decided to go nothing better to do that day, when I got there it was such a rush seeing all the people that came to watch a baseball game. I followed my neighbor down the line, eagerly I waited to try to obtain a baseball players autograph. My friend gave me a baseball to try to get autographed, and later that day I luckily got my first baseball players autograph. His name was Dino Ebel the bench coach for the Angels,

I step up to the plate. The hot lights of the Mets stadium hit my face. Clayton Kershaw was pitching. He is the best pitcher in the MLB. The pitch comes. It was a slow hanging curveball right over the middle. I swing will all my might. I hear the crack of the bat and I see the ball fly over the fence. I trot around the bases and I am approaching home plate. I step on home then I wake up.

Babe Ruth has created a legacy in sports and become a legend of baseball where he even has a museum dedicated to him. Babe Ruth created a legacy by being a great person on and off of the field. “The next day the Babe, armed with bat, glove and half a dozen signed baseballs, made one of his frequent pilgrimages to a hospital.”(Schumach). “I won't be happy until we have every boy in America between the ages of six and sixteen wearing a glove and swinging a bat.”(N.a.). This shows that Babe Ruth was a good guy and when he went to the hospital with the autographed baseballs, bats and other items he would give to kids in the hospital. One kid he gave items to became a famous story about how he “Aided the Small Boy”(Schumach). The boy that Babe Ruth

In 1927, Babe Ruth and the New York Yankees changed the face of baseball by setting numerous records and being arguably one of the greatest baseball teams of all-time. Behind the outstanding play of Babe Ruth, teammate Lou Gehrig was also performing at an amazingly high level but was shadowed by Ruth’s legendary season. Lou Gehrig’s play that season started to declined though due to his concern for his mother while she was in surgery. “His heart wasn’t in the game. All he could think about was his beloved momma” (Bryson 778). And with Lou Gehrig’s decline that season, the spotlight was on Babe Ruth and his legendary season that players today cannot even match.

Babe Ruth is one of America’s greatest Baseball player but we grow old and die so other people can try to be the best and try harder to be the world’s greatest baseball

Do you like baseball? Well Babe Ruth did and it got him to the M.B.L. He became a baseball legend.

In Babe Ruth’s childhood it was not easy. He was sent to an orphanage for being a disobedient child. This meant he had a hard life, there he learned about baseball. Since he lived there he was limited on what he had.

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

I’ve played baseball since I can remember. I’ve been apart of countless different baseball teams. Ranging from church, recreational, travel and finally school. All of which were

If I could meet anybody in the world, it would be Ernie Banks. I would chose him because he is my favorite MLB player. He played for the Chicago Cubs, and I have always looked up to him. He is my favorite baseball player, and I base my play style off of him. If I met him it would go like this.

I remember when I was twelve, I was a member of the White Sox, a little league baseball team in the neighborhood next to mine. I really liked baseball because I have always watched it with my father. It was the first sport that I played and enjoyed. Originally, my neighbor suggested that I should be put on the team to keep me out of trouble. I grew up with her sons, and as I got a little older she assumed that I would head in the wrong direction. Baseball was always entertaining and fun. I was a fairly good player. One game, I got up to bat and hit the ball, allowing two runners to score. We eventually won this game and went out for pizza after, excited about the win. At this time I was outgoing and playful, not hard-headed. I enjoyed the people I was around and liked consuming chocolate and junk food.
