    The author of Casey at the Bat classifies the poem as humorous. The author most likely decided this due to the rhyme and irony in the poem. As mentioned before, Casey at the Bat includes humor such as rhyme, examples include the following; "If only Casey could but get a whack at that - we'd put up even money now, with Casey at the bat.", and "So upon that stricken multitude grim melancholy sat, for these seemed but little chance of Casey getting to the bat." The other example of humor is irony. In the end of Casey at the Bat, Casey strikes out.

  • Batting Clean-Up And Striking Out Summary

    204 Words  | 1 Pages

    In the infamous article “Batting Clean-up and Striking Out” by Dave Barry, the focus is on gender stereotypes, specifically the stereotypes such as women like to clean and men like sports. I can personally say I fit into this, because I enjoy cleaning, to an extent, but I think this stereotype can only go so far. I know my sister doesn’t like cleaning and my father outright hates sports, so they don’t fit into this. I find the generalizations highly annoying, because people sometimes expect me to just clean for them when I don’t want to; they use the stereotype as an excuse for me to do so. I know my father has encountered plenty of other men that have tried to persuade him to watch a football or other sports game with them and I can’t imagine

  • Sabermetrics: Advanced Statistics in Baseball

    1868 Words  | 4 Pages

    Baseball statistics are meant to be a representation of a player’s talent. Since baseball’s inception around the mid-19th century, statistics have been used to interpret the talent level of any given player, however, the statistics that have been traditionally used to define talent are often times misleading. At a fundamental level, baseball, like any game, is about winning. To win games, teams have to score runs; to score runs, players have to get on base any way they can. All the while, the pitcher and the defense are supposed to prevent runs from scoring. As simplistic as this view sounds, the statistics being used to evaluate individual players were extremely flawed. In an attempt to develop more specific, objective forms of statistical analysis, the idea of Sabermetrics was born. Bill James, a man who never played or coached professional baseball, is often credited as a pioneer in the field and for coining the name as homage to the Society of American Baseball Research, or SABR. Eventually, the use of Sabermetrics became widespread in the Major Leagues, the first team being the Oakland Athletics, as depicted in Moneyball. Bill James and other baseball statisticians have developed various methods of evaluating a player performance that allow for a more objective view of the game, broadly defined as Sabermetrics.

  • The Physics of Baseball

    1526 Words  | 4 Pages

    Many people might think that swinging the bat straight through the ball would be enough to hit the ball a decent distance off the bat. There's many more mechanics involved in the swinging process. Muscle has only a small part to play in the swinging a bat for power. There are two types of mechanics involved while swinging a bat, Linear and Rotational. Rotational mechanics are the dominant source of power in the swing. Out of the rotational mechanics come the two forces that help generate the speed and power of the swing, torque and the other comes from the energy of rotation. Speed from the energy of rotation comes from the path that your hands follow as you swing the bat. The speed generated by the circular rotation from your hands is like a ball at the end of a string, as long as your hands are moving in a circle then the ball continues to accelerate in a circle. So the bat will also move in at an increasing speed as long as your hands are following a circular path as you swing. Any foward movement of the hands or body in a straight line won't add to the overall bat speed.

  • Clybourne Park Play Analysis

    795 Words  | 2 Pages

    Clybourne Park helps people understand the big world of life by bringing up relevant issues that involve people everyday. One example is how people of different races are treated and how they can react to different situations. Francine wanted to think of herself as an equal to the other white characters and refused to accept charity from Bev. This play shows how even today many people have to watch what they say and how they say it, or else anyone might be offended. For example, Steve thought he was just telling a joke, and then Tom was offended by the joke because it referred to the behavior of gay people in a negative manner. This play provides an example of what can happen if one is not careful with their language, and with this example more circumstances like this might be prevented.This small group tends to feel empathy for Russ and Bev because of the fact that they lost their son, Kenneth, through suicide. This also shows how suicide can impact anyone, because it even affected the family buying the house 50 years later in the second act.

About six months later after their first meeting, the first court was created in a warehouse in East Los Angeles. This sport was created by a mash-up of football, basketball, hockey, and gymnastics. From there, Gordon took this sport to the streets to find athletes that would make this game better.

These players would go and train with Gordon to produce the first games. These five players including Gordon would become the first players in this sport.

  • Pitch Perfect 2 Analysis

    959 Words  | 2 Pages

    On the opening week of Pitch Perfect 2, the film produced more money than every other movie released around the same time (Contrera). With that being said, Pitch Perfect 2 had word out of being an incredible movie. Pitch Perfect and the sequel are musical comedies that follow the a cappella group, the Barden Bellas. The first movie, released in 2012, centers on the group undertaking the challenge of competing against other talented and experienced teams across the nation. Most movies that are a sequel tend to not be as good as the original film, but Pitch Perfect 2 happens to be even better than the leading Pitch Perfect for several reasons. The second movie offers more a cappella singing to look forward to, an impressive amount of well-known celebrities starring who never allow for a dull moment, and main characters who prove to be just as entertaining to watch as in the first movie.

    Clybourne Park was definitely a different play, probably none like I have ever seen before. This was mainly due to the amount of cuss words I heard throughout the play. I feel like this was to play on the audience’s uneasiness, especially when they were firing racist jokes at each other. A compelling play from start to finish, Norris really knew how to put on a show. With a play that touched on so many topics, I will just discuss the important ones. Therefore, I will discuss the world of the play, its theme, and my overall review.
