Baseball is a game of fathers and sons. When I expressed an interest in visiting baseball stadiums around the country to my dad, he was enthusiastic and proud. As we planned our first journey, my dad reminisced about his own travels to distant cities to experience an afternoon of America’s favorite pastime when he was my age. Ever since I was born, however, we had always only gone to either of the two New York baseball venues: Yankee Stadium or Shea Stadium. I yearned to visit new ballparks to experience the game in new and different ways.

He took a little bit of pushing and firm motivation to try, but nevertheless he tried at the end of the day, which shows persistency. As soon as he learned how to walk, he loved the idea. Doodle was proud of himself, and for his brother.
Sara Sandoval Professor Abend English 111 1 February 2015 Following Steven’s Footsteps My earliest memories of him were in our small home in Cortez, Colorado where we grew up. I never knew my brother would have such a great impact on my life. Steven Sandoval came from small beginnings, however, he would accomplish much in his youth, and potentially much more later on. From my birth in 1989 until now he has taught me of patience, love, and what hard work can get you in life. Almost always when I was child in our small home in Cortez I’d always hear the rustlings of Lego pieces in our room and a small voice saying “Sisto, wake up let’s build something” (Sandoval).

Through all of his education he learned the significance of public speaking and reaching out to others.
