This I Believe Essay About Baseball

This I Believe….

By:Nic Warrington

What is my life without baseball? I ask myself that every day and I answer it, “nothing, nothing would be the same without it”.

Baseball was introduced to me when I was 5, I didn’t know anything, I didn’t now to do anything, just to play for fun. It was fun you know, doing what I could, I could hit the ball far. (To second base, I thought, that was far for me when I was 5). I still play it to this day, but this is what changed my life. From playing the game, from watching the pro’s play it. It’s made my family bond together, that’s the power of baseball.

From the swing of the bat, from the cheer to the crowd, to the cheering in tight games. This is what baseball is about and what it surrounds us with. Me and sometimes just myself like to watch the minnesota Twins play. Their my favorite team, they’ve hit walk-off after walk-off, and sometimes it happens to them. Baseball makes me feel relaxed when I’m in the zone or just in a very tight spot. Baseball can be very emotional time for teams, even for me. When you're close

to the champion game or you're just about to win and you loose. That’s what makes baseball, baseball.

Baseball abouts the swing, the pitch, the throw, the catch and the hard workers like the ones who do.

Baseball is not an easy sports, that’s what I keep learning everyday, from the first pitch, to the last one. Baseball has a lot of people try and make that job, I hope or I will be one of those people who do like my idols. Miguel Sano, Mike Trout, and Yasiel Puig. I would like to be one of them and get to have a job that pays a lot and it’s fun. Baseball either gives you memorable moments and teaching moments for everyone, even the winning team. That’s the best part about baseball, it teaches you to get better everyday, and every

moment.

My family actually never played baseball, my mom played softball, my sister, but that’s about it. My dad only played sandlot baseball, but hey, it’s still baseball. But yeah, I hope to play it till I can. (Which I hope it's forever). Baseball should be a sport everyone should try and get better if the choose to. Now Baseball can be sometimes frustrating to everyone, and I mean everyone. I’ve seen from little kids, to even MLB players. But you have to keep working to get it.

Do I consider baseball a hobbie? Yes or nah? Of course I do, I call it a sport, a living, and sometimes a hobbie. Baseball can be anything and anyone to just about anyone. But I call it a living because I like so much it compels me whole. Now when I was reading other this I believe essays I started to think about it. The first thing that came to my mind was baseball, and I started to think a little more about baseball just in general. More about how it surrounds my life and everything I do. “Baseball, Is What, I Call, Home”.
