When I younger, I remember playing outside in the sunshine, riding my bike, or jumping on the trampoline but what stands out the most to me was the day my dad took me to sign up for the local little league softball team. I was jumping up and down the moment I received my first jersey with my own number. I had chosen number nine after a player I had seen on T.V in the women’s college softball world series. I didn’t know her name at the time, but she played 3rd base and that’s exactly where I thought I wanted to be on the field. Her name was Bianca Cruz and she was an Arizona State Sun Devil.

He played both baseball and football starting his sophomore year because during his freshman year he got caught accepting money for playing on a professional team.
Right after finishing the ball everyone jogs off the field, letting the reader know that those were the last two outs and that the inning was over. Throughout the poem Robert Wallace uses different words to describe the sport of baseball, giving it a more artistic feeling while making a double play. In this simile, “In his sea-lit distance, the pitcher winding like a clock about to chime come down with the ball” (1-4), the author describes how the pitchers lines up and delivers the ball, releasing it at the sound of the chimes, meaning when it hits the top of the hour mark. Then Wallace uses another simile to explain the act of hitting the ball towards a defending player, “hit sharply, under the artificial banks of arc lights, bounds like a vanishing string…” (4-6). This reflects the speed in which the ball is being hit and projected in the field.
A-In 1997 Rockdale Youth Baseball Association’s coach Eddie Bagwell invited the first child with a disability to play baseball on his team; Michael a 7 year old child in a wheel chair attended every game and practice, while cheering on his 5 year old brother play America’s favorite pass-time. And in 1998, other children with disabilities were invited to play baseball on a typical baseball field within the baseball complex of the Rockdale Youth Baseball Association (RYBA). The players had expressed the desire to dress in uniforms, make plays in the field, and round the bases just like their main stream peers. The league began with 35 players on four teams that first year. There were no programs to copy.

My dad, two brothers, and I were sitting in the first row of the outfield when Bobby Higginson, a Detroit Tigers player, came up to hit for batting practice. Sure enough after two swings he hit one all the way to the wall. The ball was right in front of us on the field but we could not reach it. A player picked the ball up, and I started screaming, “Sir! Can I please have that ball?” He looked up at me in the stands and tossed the ball up.
“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.
First base gets thrown the ball to them constant to get the most outs. Second and shortstop is the center of all play, both helping each other and being cut off men for the outfielders. Third base or the hot corner has the most balls getting hit in this general direction. Next, is the catcher calling plays, watching the field to tell the pitcher what to look out for, and make sure to catch all the wild pitches. Lastly, the pitcher must have different types of throws to strike the batter out.
The most common ways for the defense to get an out are: a batter hits a ball that is caught before it hits the ground, first base is touched with the ball before the runner gets there, or a batter strikes out. The goal of the offense is to get around the bases; the first step is to get on base. When the game starts, all nine members of the defense take their positions on the field. The batter approaches home plate and takes her place in the batter’s box. The batter attempts to hit the ball so that it is out of reach for the
