“There are three types of baseball players: those who make it happen, those who watch it happen, and those who wonder what happens”- Tommy Lasorda. My relationship to a sport has to be baseball. I have a desire when they run to the bases, sliding, and making home runs. I also like when they pitch, and the bat hits the ball where it goes out of the park. Even though I think that they are overpaid. As a result, baseball players earn $3 million per year. First, I think that’s too expensive

The one thing missing from that I believe should be added to that list is the ability to have an instinctive

Jackie Robinson is often seen as the baseball player to put blacks on the map. Though, what Troy argues in “Fences” is completely different. He believes that Jackie Robinson was the most successful baseball player not necessarily the best. Troy believed that he, in fact, knew teams that Jackie Robinson would not make. He also knew of many black baseball players that came before Jackie Robinson that simply did not a chance. This can relate to athletes that never made it to the big leagues because

If the Major League baseball season were to end today, the Milwaukee Brewers would finish with the third worst record in baseball. Come next June, the Brewers would be selecting one of the most important players in the last ten years. If the brewers hit on their next prospect they could find themselves back into contention, but if they fail, they could find themselves continuing to need to rebuild. Top prospects in baseball are more important than ever in today’s game. For the past few years we

Jolts of excitement filled my muscles as I recited the piece that I know all too well. Warming up, I was controlled, and was ready to bring it. The game began with a bang. Strikeout after strikeout I fired, giving my

It was the last games of the baseball season. We had are worse pitcher pitching for our team. And they had an ok pitcher pitching. We got to the semi finals and our coach was going nuts. I was in the locker room getting ready for the game and my teammates Austin and Tevan were right next to me also getting ready they were one of the best players on the team. After our coach gave us a pep talk

Playing baseball and soccer has been something that is ordinary. There is no nervousness or anxiety about playing, because I have been playing my whole life. There is something that comes with this. Some say that you must be born with it, but I believe that it is developed. That something is confidence. I am confident in almost everything that I do. When I step onto the baseball diamond, there is a certain attitude that goes with it. To be successful in baseball, you must be confident. You must

I'm the type of person to fail and work harder until I am content. As my championship baseball coach would say "What’s our motto? Never give up!" Since the age of four my father has trained me to be the best baseball player I can be. Every single day my dad would practice with me. He would make me do drills and plays until I got them right. Due to my father’s commitment of making me a great baseball player, we won three championships: two in Little
