Baseball was my life for as long as I can remember. I loved every second of it. The CRACK of the bat on the ball, the sound of a cheering crowd as your round third base, The feeling of America’s pastime, always gave me the greatest sensation. I practiced all the time. Tossing with my dad, hitting balls of the “T”, trying to make myself better than I was the previous day. I was a first baseman, and for good reason, I never let anything get by me, I wasn’t to shabby at hitting either, and through countless
Growing up as a kid, I excelled in baseball, football, and basketball. I shared an equal amount of love for the sports and I was never able to narrow it down to what sport I would devote myself to, but on one memorable night, all of my dreams to play a professional sport would come true. Under the glistening lights in Wrigley Field, the radiant moon exhibited in the murky sky. Sitting amongst my teammates in the dugout, looking over in the corner, Javy Baez chomped on a mouthful of sunflower seeds
was eight years old, like all other youth baseball players, I have dreamed of playing Major League Baseball (MLB). Inspirational quote. On July 31, 2017, when the Baltimore Orioles scout team asked me to pitch for them in the East Coast Pro showcase, I performed at a superior level. Why was I selected to play for the Orioles, but others were not? As I stood on the pitcher's mound with a multitude of MLB scouts and agents evaluating me, I reflected on my journey; three things came to mind: hard
I am a baseball player who loves to play baseball and very good at it, but in middle school I could not make the team in either of my two years that I was in middle school. It was 7th and 8th grade, but that did not stop me from ever playing baseball. Here is my story on how I never gave up on playing baseball even though I did not make the team two straight years in middle school. I started playing baseball for as long as I could. The year was 2006 when I first started playing baseball in Field
I’ve never been to a baseball game.” “Oh, my God I want to go to a baseball game so badly!” From this very conversation, my dream and my girlfriends dream came true. Let me tell you a little bit more about us and explain why this is a dream come true for the both of us. Let me start by saying a couple things you need to know about me first. Growing up as a kid in a Hispanic household we would mainly watch sports, such as soccer and baseball but mainly soccer and this is where my love and passion grew
At the time I saw the movie, Field of Dreams (1989) I thought it was one of the weirdest movies I’d ever seen. Holly and I kept looking at each other during the movie and whispering, “What’s going on now?” But it was about baseball, so I thought I should keep watching. The movie is a favorite for millions of people. AFI voted it in the top ten of the fantasy genre. One of the famous lines in this movie is, “If you build it, he will come.” The question the audience kept asking during the movie was
My Childhood Dreams As I take a look back on my life, I realize how great it has truly been. I had an absolutely amazing childhood and I am beyond blessed for it. I grew up in a home with two loving parents that have been with me through it all and now of days that is something to be truly thankful for. My parents taught me to strive to be anything that I wanted and that I could be anything that I set my mind to. These dreams changed throughout my life as I grew older and as I grew into the person
My Goals In Life With the great advances in technology, anyone who is interested in a career can look at their dream job at the tip of their fingers. Companies such as Google and Youtube have so much information that almost any job is most likely able to be accessible. My main goals in life are to play baseball at a division one university, play professionally, and to earn large amounts of money. Ever since I was four years old, I knew that I wanted to make a living by playing baseball. I mainly
If someone had seen me playing baseball with my friends in the neighborhood when I was in middle school, that person would surely have wondered what an adult was doing with children. I was already 5 feet 8 inches, and I could pitch faster and hit farther than any in my age group in South Korea. No wonder a scout from LG Twins, a Korean professional baseball team, tried to recruit me for their youth team. It was natural for me to think that I would become a baseball player when I grew up. When it
My sport would probably be baseball,even though basketball is a very fun sport. I find baseball to be more of a passion than a hobby. Truly I want to make baseball my place or form of employment, because it makes me feel like even though growing up and maturing I can still go out onto the field, and feel like a young child again. In my future of being a baseball player baseball would allow me to travel the world, and the United States while getting paid to play a game. Also just getting the chance
