Baseball is a very fun sport to watch. Many people watch this sport every game. Some people prefer to actually go to the game. Some prefer to watch the radio on TV. Some people even like to listen to it over the radio. Not many people like to listen to it over the radio anymore, but some people, such as truck drivers, would rather listen to it over the radio then go to the game or watch it on TV.
Baseball has been one of Americas favorite sports ever since it was created. As Babe Ruth once said, “Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world.” Through time though other sports started to emerge such as soccer, football, and basketball, but America never had quite the passion towards them that they had with baseball. It is rare to find someone that does not like baseball because of how long the sport has been around. It is reasonable to believe that baseball is the greatest sport out there. Baseball is a one of a kind sport because it has a great history, one can go to college in the four different areas it offers, such as hitting, pitching, defending, base running, and finally one must be mentally tough to play it.
We have all been that one freshman, being the little fish in the big pond. You try to get yourself known around school but sometimes that is hard to do.Thinking about joining a sport or club but don’t know what one. Well one sport a freshman could do is softball. Softball is a wonderful sport for freshman to play because you can improve your game, be on a team with your friends, and get a whole new experience.
America’s baseball diamonds, soccer fields, hockey rinks, and basketball courts have never been so busy with children. The number of kids involved in an organized sport is not what is so groundbreaking. It’s the way in which children are playing or how their parents are arranging for them to play that may be cause for concern (Ferguson). Much controversy surrounds youth sports with the biggest disagreements coming over parental involvement and the intensity of play. Although there are many benefits for team participation, there is a growing fear that the negatives are starting to outweigh the positives.
Many people argue that competitive sports raise numerous amounts of pressure on the youth making them distracted from things such as their education and because it can cause severe injuries, but some people argue that youth should play competitive sports because it teaches major life lessons that can help with many different aspects of their future such as college, getting a job, and many more. Playing competitive sports also improves your physical strength, another physical aspect of playing competitive sports is decreasing your chance of being obese or having disease. If you don't prefer to play competitive sports there are alternative options such as biking or walking to school. In an HT Health article “Sports Seen As Key Weapon in Fighting Teen Obesity” it says that in a study with 1,700 kids, ten percent walked or biked to school 3 ½ days a week,, in the study they found that biking or walking to school lowered the risk of being obese by 33%. I argue that kids should play competitive sports because of the important life skills taught through these sports and the physical benefit of playing sports. In this paper I will explain how communication, time management, and lowering the risk of being obese; supports my claim, “Kids should play competitive sports”
What sport do you enjoy playing or watch the most? For me the answer had always been Baseball. Starting being played in the late 1800s Baseball has since become a national Pastime in the United States. I hope this speech will help you gain a better understanding on how the sport is played.
Being part of team is something special. Weather it's a sport or school related team, you meet people that mean something to you. Doing what you love with a group of passionate people. You build all these memories of when you lead your team to victory and moments where as a team fall together. Your performance will be at the top and sometimes you just drop. You'll make many enemies and you'll find out who are your real friends and see who really wants to see you succeed. You become blindsided and don’t even know what's going on around you. You start to realize how shady people can be. Jealousy starts to build and before you know it, the worst of the worst situations start to hit you. How could one person possibly take away your passion? The
It is undeniable that sports have a profound impact on society. Not only are sports a form of leisure, but in the 21st century sports have evolved into multi-billion dollar enterprises. The National Football League alone made 12 billion in revenue in 2015. Football is an American institution in the present but in the past it was Baseball that ruled American sports. Baseball is often referred to as America’s pastime, but it is much more than that. Baseball is a symbol of America, it is a game that reflects what it means to be American, and in many ways it tells the story of our country. From humble beginnings in Cooperstown, New York, through struggles and controversy in the early 20th century and culminating in the 1920’s when Baseball became essential to American life. Changes in sports tend to reflect changes in society; baseball being America’s pastime and part of the American identity is no exception. There is little doubt that baseball in American
Imagine you going up to the plate and hitting a base hit to score the winning run in the last inning. I will be talking to you about baseball, Americans favorite pastime. When I first played the game of baseball, I thought that baseball was so boring but when I got older, it got very interesting. The connection I can make is that baseball is America’s past time and has deep traditional values in many of us like me. Abner Doubleday, a young man from New York City invented the game of baseball in the summer of 1839. It became America’s beloved national pastime. Baseball is America’s favorite pastime because everyone
There are many different reasons why including sports in a child’s life can help build them for their future. A few of the more obvious reasons include healthy weight, social skills, and self-discipline. According to Greg Wells of aboutkidshealth.ca, “Starting a child in an organized sport gives them a healthy habit of physical activity to see them right through to adulthood and help them ward off many age- and weight-related ailments” (Wells). In addition to the short-term benefits, as children develop in life with the inclusion of sports, they learn to become attentive and gain stronger strategy skills (Wells). More specifically, football has the potential to develop strong
Baseball has been played by millions of people all over the world. The sport has been a staple of entertainment on radio and tv for many years. And just in the last few decades there has been a huge spike in arm injuries, and a lot of them have been in younger players. "Year-round baseball is number one,"is what Dr. Andrews said about Tommy John surgery(Snyder). What year round baseball means is that players play baseball in the fall and winter months, this never happened in years before. Also kids are now being allowed times for their arms to rest and heal. Year round baseball should definitely be regulated one reason is the increasing amount of arm injuries in younger kids, Also the kids may burn out mentally and not want to play the sport anymore, they may just one day say they do not want to
The size of the ball, the speed of the pitch, and the distance from the mound to the plate all are variables of deciding which one is harder, softball or baseball? Debates break out all over the world with people fighting why softball is a sport made for girls. There is no real reason why the inventor of softball made it a bigger ball just for girls, but the difference is clearly noticeable. Studies show that most professional baseball players have a difficulty hitting from a softball pitcher. In order to prove this study, there must be drawbacks that make these softball players able to blow by a fastball by some of the greatest hitters.
Baseball owns the top honor of being america's original pastime. Dating back to the late 1800s. Which makes it the oldest organized sport in the country. There is something just so American about heading to the ballpark on a hot summer night, more than any professional sport. But what I think separates baseball from any other sport is its ability to relate to life.
It’s the bottom of the ninth, with two outs and the bases are loaded. It’s every hitters dream. You either make it or break it. You will either win the game for your team or lose it. Baseball has been around for many years, and it is one of the most well known sports worldwide. Baseball was first played in 1845 and ever since then it has grown more popular every single year. I believe baseball is the best sport and many people would agree with me. I think baseball is the best sport because it is enjoyable, you can’t stall in baseball, and there are a variety of positions.
There are many fans and parents that like going to games to see their favorite players or kids play and they spend their game time watching their players make baskets or scoring touchdowns. But, there are also those fans that sit in the bleachers game after game whose players never seem make it off the bench. This happens more often in High School sports than college and professional sports. The coaches of any sports team usually put in the best players or maybe they have a favorite player that's the “star” player that gets more time in the game and more practice and help outside the games and practices. Certain players, however, should not get more attention from their coach or coach’s than others.
