Throughout my entire life I have made a collection of many fond memories. Of those fond memories one in particular sticks out, my senior year during baseball season. I have played baseball since I was six years old and my senior season was by far the best of them. Memories were not only made on the field but also off of it, making us not only teammates but brothers. The memories I made with that team will forever be implanted into my mind and something that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
My senior baseball season wouldn’t have been the same if it wasn’t for the kids I had around me. All of my closest friends were on the baseball team which makes it easy to see why it was my favorite season. Win or lose we were the most tight knit group of guys you could come across. Not only were we very close friends but …show more content…

Being a senior, we had to drive the underclassmen to practice and on these drives were nothing but laughs. I had to drive James and Danny every single day, and the two of those kids together were nothing less than hysterical. Danny was a tall, lanky kid who was very nice and polite. James on the other hand was a short, stocky, loud, and a complete slob. I was always two seconds away from leaving him, but without fail he would come running out of the school with no shoes on, a loosened tie, and an unbutton shirt. No matter what the circumstances, James always had a very interesting, to say the least, way of explaining why he was late. It was anything from I fell down the stairs to my teacher wouldn’t let me leave because she was having a mental breakdown. One memory in particular was when James was talking about getting a McFlurry all day, we finally got him one and then when we showed up to the field he dropped it and spilled it all over. It was just the little things that makes me appreciate every single second of that

    From the time I first saw the game of baseball I fell in love. Even the first word I ever said was “ball”. I have baby pictures in my baseball uniform and whenever a baseball game would be on TV, I would act like I was playing there with them. So at an early age I knew I wanted to play baseball. Luckily, my dad was also very big into baseball and helped me almost every day. Some of my best memories came when we would practice baseball in the front yard, or even go to the local (missing word) and take batting practice.

    Its America’s pastime. Since 1869, the MLB has been the sweetheart of American sports. A requisite to be a true American is to have a conceptual understanding of baseball; the seventh inning stretch, “Take Me Out To The Ball Game,” as well as hotdogs and warm summer nights at the ball park are all favorite memories of American pastime. However, what one might not realize is the extreme physics behind the game. The velocity of the pitch, and degree of the ball exiting the bat, the exit speed, and how an outfielder throws are entailed within the physics of baseball. It is important to understand the physics involved with baseball to grow in understanding and appreciation of the sport.

    Over history America has changed. From its culture and weapons to its geography and foreign relations, nothing stays the same for long. As America changes, so does its pastime-baseball.

    With seconds to spare I arrived at batting practice and began to prepare for my game. I hear coach call out my name and as I he acknowledged that I was there he told me I was pitching. My brain shifted and went into a whole new mode, I was more focused and more determined than I have ever been. This was the biggest baseball game of my career and I 'm starting on the mound. Honestly it couldn 't have turned out any better, the fate of the pin and my team lied in my hands and I loved the pressure. The pressure made me thrive and before I knew it our team was marching onto the field for the national anthem. During the singing of the national anthem I peeked into the crowd and first row down the first base side was the little boy I met on the cart and his dad sitting right next to him. This game was for that little boy, I needed to impress him. I pitched six strong innings and my team ended up winning the game. It was the most exciting game of my career and the best part was being greeted with the best pin in the tournament after such a spectacular win. The little boy ran out into the middle of the field where we shook our opponents hands and in front of everyone in the stadium handed me the only thing I cared about besides winning.

  • My Life Of Playing Baseball

    1076 Words  | 3 Pages

    When I first started playing baseball, I didn't have many friends at all. I was fairly introverted, spending most of my time indoors. I read a lot and didn't bother talking to people because I had literature to keep me company. Then, I started playing baseball at age 8. I was in a completely new environment with people I didn't know, and I was terrified. However, everyone who was on the team(as well as my future teams) treated me with the same camaraderie that old friends would have. Needless to say, I integrated instantly. I was thankful for my choice in playing because I ended up making new friends for the first time in my life. I ended my first season of baseball with a whopping 9 new friends. As I stated before, baseball boosted my self-esteem. It allowed me to break out of my shell and have fun for once. I remember an old game from back in my third season of playing. I had the time of my life, better than anything I did. I had fun, I got my first official home run. The feeling was phenomenal, and I got cheered by my entire team as I ran to home base. I was 10 years old at the time. It helped boost my self-esteem, having helped win the game. Very few things bring me that feeling of glee I felt when I hit that first home run. When I quit at age 16, I felt a sort of loss. However, I was still able to continue on with my life as my friends were still there. My attitude towards life didn't change

I was getting into the dreaded mental set of the game that I would be playing in that night. I had to play in the band at halftime and it was the first performance of the season. The whole ride to my house I thought about the game and hoped and prayed that we wouldn't make huge fools of ourselves. Before I knew it, I was already home. I remember thinking that it felt like the shortest drive ever, getting to beautiful Rolling Oaks. When I got home, little did I know, that there would be a huge surprise waiting for me that would change my life forever.
