Ryan Ranieri 9/30/12 My Senior Season From the time I was eight years old, I knew that baseball would be my life. The first time I had ever picked up a bat was on my third birthday and when I swung and hit the piñata, my parents also knew what baseball had in store for me. All my life it’s just been baseball and more baseball and I’ve grown accustomed to that philosophy and have enjoyed it more and more as I’ve progressed in my baseball career. You have to know from an early age whether you want to pursue baseball or not because you need to get good younger rather than older because it just gets harder. I knew what I wanted to do and was going to do anything and everything to accomplish what I wanted.
When the restaurant closes, Tyler heads home in his car. He usually stops to get some dinner, even though it is 11:30 p.m. He typically picks up a large pepperoni pizza that he consumes in one sitting. Sometimes, he follows the pizza with handfuls of cookies that he eats while lying down on the couch and watching late night television. Lately, he finds it difficult to fall asleep though.
Trip to Tigers Stadium Baseball is America’s pastime. It is a child’s dream come true to go to their first Major League Baseball game. My dad, my brothers, Dylan and Dustin, and I piled into the car at 8 in the morning headed for Detroit on 96-East. It was July 7th, 1999, and I was seven years old. I knew it was going to be a hot day because at eight in the morning it was already unbearable to sit in the car.
Whereas in America we have one last name and when a woman gets married it changes to her husband’s last name. La Siesta. In the early hours of the afternoon, when the intense heat of the sun discourages physical activity, people take a rest period, la siesta. Business people shut their doors at about one o'clock and go home to eat lunch with their families. Lunch is the biggest meal of the day and a time for the family to gather together.

The film was released on April 7th, 1993, just 4 months before my day of birth. In the movie, Scott Smalls tells of his first summer after he moved to Los Angeles. In 1962, Smalls moved with his mother and stepfather to a new neighborhood. Smalls, as he is referred to in the movie, was excited about the new opportunity but initially, struggled to make any friends. One afternoon, he decided to follow a group of guys from the neighborhood he just moved to, and watch them play a pickup game of baseball at a small field, which they called the “sandlot.” At first Smalls was a little tentative to join their game because he feared he would be ridiculed by the other kids on account of his lack of baseball knowledge and experience.
“Hey kid, I like your hat. Wanna trade?” I was astonished to hear these words come from a person who I had looked up to for the last two years of my life. Roger Cedeño was traded to the New York Mets in 2001 and was their starting leadoff hitter for the following two years. At this point in my life, I was an avid Mets fan, even at the age of 8, and quickly began to admire the way Mr. Cedeño handled himself on and off the field. On May 15th of 2002, the Mets were playing the Montreal Expos in Shea Stadium and my father had obtained two front row seat tickets to the game via his business partner.
The ride to Chapel Hill took about two and a half hours. When we get to Chapel Hill we park at the Baptist Student Union because it is very close to our tailgating spot outside of the Cobb parking deck. We tailgate with our family and friends before and after every home game. My cousins are there, one of which goes to Carolina and the other is a senior in high school, my grandma is there, and friends of my cousin’s parents are there as well. There is all sorts of food there; fried chicken, chicken salad, regular salad, chips and dip, fruit, some sort of dessert, and all different kinds of drinks.
