My Dream Of A Baseball Dream

In total I had joined 6 baseball teams in my whole life (17 years). I don’t want this problem to ever happen again so I’m not planning on joining anymore teams for now, but I may join one during college. I still like baseball even after all these years. Baseball has always been a part of my life. It’s been something I’ve played, it's been something my grandfather has enjoyed, my aunt, and pretty much my whole family. But at the end of the day I think that it was one of the best decisions that I had ever made just because I have more time to do stuff and time to spend with my family members and friends from

I play baseball to keep me in shape, have fun, always learn more, and hopefully one day to play it for a career. I have been playing baseball since I was three years old. I began playing T-ball with a youth sports program known as Upward. Throughout my childhood, I always played up an age group because of my high skill level. When I was about eight years old, I met Brian McCann’s dad.

The life of a young baseball player is a very enjoyable one. Baseball has always been my favorite sport, it requires the highest amount of concentration and mental strength. Physical strength is also required to be able to hit and throw the ball; these are all skills required that apparently my freshman year of highschool I did not posses. I had always believed that I had the necessary skills to play baseball and play it well. However, tryouts my freshman year proved me wrong.

(swing bat) Well, there's my 60 th home run. I am babe Ruth, if you didn't already know. And I want to talk about my life. I was born February 6, 1895 and I was one of 8 children in my family. With my parents working long hours I was a troublemaker, since there no one was to watch me. At age 7 my parents sent me to St. Mary’s Industrial School for Boys. I skipped school a lot and caused a lot of fights around my neighborhood. That's when my parents realized I needed a more strict environment. At school I started to fall in love with baseball. At age 19, my mentor Brother Matthias invited Jack Dunn, the owner of the Baltimore Orioles, to watch me play baseball. Jack Dunn was so impressed that

Several years ago, I was talking to my late grandpa who had gone to see Hall of Famer, Ken Griffey Jr. give a speech to some young children. After his speech, a dad stood up and asked “Mr. Griffey, you and I have something in common. I have been playing baseball all my life just like you. We are about the same age and we even come from the same hometown. The only difference between us is that you are a celebrated All- Star ballplayer, and I-- despite decades of hard work-- have never been able to play past college ball. This breaks my heart. I have dedicated my whole life to baseball, but to no avail. My spirit has been completely diminished by all the rejection and disappointment. I was wondering if you have any advice for me, but please do not just dismiss my question and tell me to persevere. I have heard that too many times and

It was a very warm and tense place in the gymnasium of the Alpena High School. A group of freshman and sophomore baseball players were waiting for the words you wanted to hear which was “Congratulations” or the not so good news of “Sorry” from the coach deciding if you made the team. Personally, at the start of baseball tryouts I thought to myself it’s going to be a toss up to see if I would make the team having a 50/50 chance. I was nervous for the most part because there were an abundace of upperclassman also trying out for the team that were on it last year. There were twenty-seven people trying out for fifteen spots to play JV baseball.

Coach Harrison wants us to do the best we can because there will be scouts and it determines if we can get a scholarship or get into the best college for baseball. I’m not going to lie, but I’m nervous as hell, we need to win the state champion badly to impress these scouts. Lately my performance has been slacking off lately and I have no idea why, like I don’t know what’s on my mind, is it the nervousness, the anxiety or is my life on the line? I really want to win this for Dad, imagine him being so proud of me to get into college and play in minor league just like

Each and every week I would head out to the baseball park, not because the experience would always leave me with joy, but because of the joy and satisfaction that the players had when they came and left the field. Many of the player’s parents told my fellow buddies and I, that the players would start counting down the days until the next Sunday, as soon as they’d get into the car! Throughout the entire Challenger season, I was reminded of how easy my life actually is, and how a how much I take for granted daily. With this program having such a great impact, I was dedicated to making sure that the player’s experience was the best possible. Which meant that I would often get there early, and help our Challenger division coordinator, to set up and makes sure that everything was ready for when the players came. My hard-work, and readiness to help out obviously were apparent to the coordinator, Jeff Sandes, as he came to me at the end of last year’s season to thank me for all the hard work, time and effort, I had put in to make sure that the players' experiences were the best

“There’s no crying in baseball.” That is something my dad always says to me. What made me think of that? Oh yeah, I have a baseball tournament this weekend! I couldn’t wait to smell the rubber glove, feel the speed of the pitcher, and feel the turf. I wanted to get back to see my teammates and my coaches. At 5:30 it was time to head to Lenz Field!

Ever since I was ten years old and I made my first local little league team’s all star team, I knew I wanted to play baseball for as long as I could. I am thankful I have been offered the opportunity to play baseball beyond the high school level and am enjoying the college selection process.

As I mentioned earlier I have had countless of fond memories playing ball there and helped me meet some of my closest friends. Today I am someone who is very competitive and can’t stand the thought of eve losing at anything. I feel that a lot of my competitive nature started with playing little league baseball for the Carmel Youth Baseball Association. My dad was my coach for a lot of my teams so him being extra hard on me definitely had me more fired up about winning. I also couldn't stand the act of someone bragging to my face at school the next day that they struck me out or got a hit off of me. When I was younger I really couldn't stand school and so baseball was really that first activities that I worked really hard at and was very passionate about. It also created a sort of identity for me as everyone new me as more of an athlete and bonded with others who were very interested in sports. To this day I am still just as obsessed with baseball as I was back then, except now I have other passions and actually care a lot more about school. If I never played baseball for the Carmel Youth Baseball Association my identity and competitiveness would be a whole lot

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.

I have transferred from one field to another, leaving memories behind every 2 years but now I have a place I can call home, and that is the Mariners baseball field. I have had plenty of other memories like winning the Minors championship my very first year and taking second my second year of baseball in majors. I took second my third year in Babe Ruth but now I realize I don’t need to leave those memories behind, I can fulfill what I have learn and look at how much better I have gotten and how much better of a person it has made me. I can look back on my past families and realize no matter what when how old or what league you play for you always have a family watching you, even if you barely or don’t even know them. When I first walked upon the field at 13 years old, i felt alone and wasn't sure i could do what everyone else was able to do like throwing from shortstop to first which was about 85 to 130 feet. From the rubber on the pitching mound to home plae its about 60 feet. I was young, but i didnt understand that i was going to get stronger and better. The smell was astonishing and the breeze was so clean. The field was nicely wrapped with grass around the infield and the infield was perfectly graded with dirt on top of the hard clay. I was so nervous when i first got in the but the players were so nice. My cousins told me not to be nervous because Baseball is something fun and something you could

Baseball to the vast majority sounds like that one Sport where whatever you do is lounge around and hold up to hear the break of the bat. That’s not what the sport of baseball genuinely is. But to me, this sport has transmuted the way I see life all in all. Each and every athlete on the team has been illuminated to have extraordinary dedicated demeanor, regardless if it's in a training room or pregame warmups. Mentors have disposed initiative chances to teammates year after year and this this season it's my turn in light of my strong efforts and sturdy and my competency to be on the team. I did not turn into the individual that I am by lounging around. If it wasnt for baseball,
