Imagine this: being in a big field of freshly cut green grass, water, red dirt that comes around the stadium, and chalk outlining the field. Looking, waiting, seeing the player with the bat make his moment to shine, when the ball comes to contact with his bat, while the outfielders are waiting patiently to chase, and attack the ball with their gloves. Having to react in less than a second. Deciding of what outcome the player may have to do. Also depending on the situation, if they should risk getting an out or playing it safe for the next play.
A run is scored when a player from the offense advances through all four bases without getting out by the defense. The game is played on a field that consists of a dirt infield and a grass outfield. The infield is square and is sometimes referred to as the diamond. There are four bases on the field: home plate, first base, second base, and third base. A game is usually made up of seven innings, although, fewer or more innings may be played depending on the score.
Firstly both sports play on the iconic diamond shaped field with three bases and home plate. This makes it easy for the average person to assume that the two sports are exactly the same, even with obvious reasons. Also both sports have same basic goal of getting a batter to hit the ball make it all the way around the bases to get to home plate to score. Each team is given three chances per inning to achieve this goal. Games of softball and baseball are both observed by umpires who make sure the rules are followed and determine whether a player is out or safe, a ball is foul, and if a pitch is a strike or a ball, etc..
The field consists of plush green grass in the outfield. The outfield is where there are players positioned to possibly catch the high flying balls that are hit by the batters. The infield is shaped as a diamond and is made of dirt. The dirt is lined by very white chalk. The chalk is drawn out in straight lines starting at home base and then to first base,
Writer/director David Mickey Evans bounces the film with some great summertime amusement that stresses the fabulous nature of the sport of baseball and uses it as a metaphor for the coming of age subjects common to all young people. This motion picture reminds you about what it was like when kids led the simpler life. It shows us that the only things you required to have a great time was a ball to throw and baseball glove to catch it, a pair of chucks to run
Imagery is when the author uses words to make you create a mental image. There are many uses of imagery in the poem for example, in the first stanza, Bottoms creates the image of a batter in baseball by describing this person getting ready to bat “as your left hand climbed the bat, your legs and shoulders squared toward the pitcher”. He’s giving the feeling that you’re the batter, that through hard work sacrifice & practice, he reaches his goal of getting an opportunity in the spotlight. That’s how the author uses imagery in his poem to again prove that practice makes perfect. So as stated before, practice makes perfect.
Standing here, in the heat, on a beautiful sunny day. Dirt and grass all around, people watching from the crowd, teammates standing near me and cheering on the team. Looking at home plate from Shortstop, waiting for the ball to be hit to field and play the ball to play the game that I love the most. Baseball, the sport that works around my whole life and that shows the kind of person that I am. Besides my family, nothing matters to me except for school and baseball.
He didn’t find anything so we walked on through and showed our tickets to some lady in a uniform. After we got passed security we went to where the stands were and there was more space taken up by the stands than by the actual field did. We got there in time to watch the batting practice. Batting practice is where we sit back and watch each team slug balls into the outfield and try and catch a ball so I went down to the second row about five seats away from the foul pole in left field. The Braves had finished their batting practice and the Diamond Backs had come up and the fifth batter hit a hand stinging line drive down the third base line and the ball didn’t go over but the left fielder stopped it and threw it into the stands.
They had no problem expressing their dislike toward a home run hit by the opposing team. There were more factors than just the crowd that contributed to the volume. Throughout the game, stadium associates were walking through the stands selling beer, cotton candy, and cracker jacks. What is a baseball game without cracker jacks? There was
The WHS track is seen in three different lights to me; literally. There is the sunlight shining upon you, the stadium lights reflecting on the turf, and the stars slithering in the sky when the lights are turned off. Peaceful, relaxing, strong, competitive, and energized. These are all ways that the track makes me feel. The track gives me a sense of spirit for my hometown and for my school.
