Baseball is better with you
Type: Sonnet

When I look at the sun,
I see you and I,
We're having so much so fun,
It's just you and I.

We like to play baseball,
You and me having the time of our lives,
We run like Usain Bolt to catch the ball,
We fall and laugh and give each other high fives.

The sun is so bright, our body is soaked in sweat, so we go to the shade were there is no light,
We grab the hose and spray water and get wet.

The ball field is where it's at,
So lets throw a ball and swing with the bat.

ABAB/CDCD/EFEF/GG

I wrote this poem because I enjoy the sport of baseball. I like to play and have fun with my team mates and its just amazing and I love baseball.

Baseball is better with you

Ode to the best mom
Type: Ode

Ode to my mom,
Who gave me all her love, who gave me life to this world with peace and calm,
Who showed me how to live beyond and above.

Ode to my mom,
To the mom that showed me how to wear a baseball glove,
Who showed the beautiful coconut palm,
To the I always speak of.

Ode to my mom,
To the mom that told me I looked like a morning...

  • Essay On Softball Literacy

    1204 Words  | 3 Pages

    Though the practices performed within softball literacy do not immediately seem as if they should be considered a literacy practice, according to two of the six propositions about the nature of literacy, it is. Not only does it involve the physical performance from a play, but also includes formal writings, new rules and regulations, and offer different rules in different countries. I think softball should be counted as a literacy practice because it appeals to Barton and Hamilton’s propositions and includes artifacts that make it a community and artifacts that provide the players with essential people skills.

  • Essay On Baseball

    1352 Words  | 3 Pages

    During the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, Major League Baseball, much like the majority of other American institutions, was racially segregated. A color barrier was implemented during baseball’s infancy in order to separate people of different race to cater to the white American players. The color barrier was an unofficial “rule” that hindered those with dark skin from playing baseball for Major League teams. The color barrier was enforced by preventing any teams with a colored player from competing at the professional level. Many team owners, umpires, and players justified their opposition to allowing blacks to play by declaring that only whites could uphold the "gentlemanly character" of professional baseball. Others argued that excluding blacks would prevent future racial resentment between the ethnicities, as players of different races would be competing for the same job opportunities.

  • The Baseball Of Baseball : America 's Pastime

    845 Words  | 2 Pages

    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.

  • Impact of Baseball on American Culture and Society

    1610 Words  | 4 Pages

    Baseball has for a long time been a staple in the American sporting culture as baseball and America have grown up together. Exploring the different ages and stages of American society, reveals how baseball has served as both a public reflection of, and vehicle for, the evolution of American culture and society. Many American ways including our landscapes, traditional songs, and pastimes all bear the mark of a game that continues to be identified with America's morals and aspirations. In this paper I will be addressing the long residuals of baseball as it specifically relates to the emergence of the American nation and its principles of nationalism. This is a particularly important issue because baseball seems to be a perfect representative system having many comparative analogies to the larger system of development, America. Since the sport first emerged, baseball and America have shared the same values, responded to the same events, and struggled with the same social and economic issues. To learn of the ideals concerning the sport of baseball in America, is to know the heart and mind of America.

  • Pitching with Grandpa: A Childhood Baseball Bond

    883 Words  | 2 Pages

    It all began one day when I was six years old. My dad and I were playing catch at my grandparents house in the yard. I decided that I wanted to pitch so I told my dad to crouch down like a catcher. As I began to pitch I would try to imitate my favorite pitcher at the time, Cardinal starter, Chris Carpenter. My grandpa would sit in a chair by the window and watch me throw. After throwing a few pitches my grandpa decided that he wanted to come outside. With his walker, he made his slow walk outside to get a closer look at me. “I think we’ve got something here” he said to my dad as I continued to pitch. From that moment on, I always wanted to pitch in front of him just to listen to what he would have to say about me.

  • Descriptive Essay - The Baseball Diamond

    1487 Words  | 3 Pages

    Many people don't understand the point in playing baseball. Why would someone swing a stick, hit a ball, and try to get back to where they started before the ball returns? What pleasure is there in that? Why not participate in a sport like wrestling or track where there is an obvious level of individual improvement and therefore pleasure. Well, I play baseball because of the love I have for the sport, and because of the feeling that overwhelms me every time I walk onto a baseball field. When I walk onto a field I am given the desire to better myself not only as an athlete, but also as a person. The thoughts and feelings I get drive me to work hard towards my goals and to be a better person. The most relevant example of these feelings is when I stepped on the field at Runyon Complex in Pueblo, Colorado during our high school state playoffs in 2003. This baseball field will always be an important place to me.

  • A Personal Speech: My Love For Baseball

    1000 Words  | 2 Pages

    One diamond, four plates, nine players, a sweaty uniform, cleats, a bat, and a ball are the only things I’ve dreamt of since my first baseball practice when I was three years old. I remember the way it felt to smack the ball off of the tee and have everyone in the stands cheer and scream for me as I ran for first base as fast as I could and never wanting to leave the field even after it had gotten dark outside and all the field lights had been shut off. Baseball has been all I’ve ever wanted to do with my life from the very beginning. I can’t imagine doing anything other than eating, sleeping, and breathing the game of baseball. So when people ask me, “What are your plans after high school?” all I’ve ever known myself to say back was, “I’m not sure but it 'll have something to do with baseball.” With this being said, I have decided to be a baseball coach so I can pass down the knowledge I have for the game I love so much to people younger than me that love it just the same as I have and still do.

    The poem, “Black Hair by Gary Soto describes a boy who had and probably still has a love and passion for baseball. Many images throughout this poem support this fact. For example, “In the bleachers I was brilliant with my body, waving players in and stomping my feet,” “His crouch the one I assumed before an alter of worn baseball cards in my room,” and “…in my mind I rounded the bases with him, my face flared, my hair lifting/Beautifully,” show how much he loves the game of baseball by putting himself, through imagination, into the game as if he was a player or coach himself.
