While the game was going on, there were numerous times when the crowd and myself got loud to express our excitement. The crowd was like the music in a movie. I could tell if something positive happened without watching the game based on the crowd’s reactions. It worked in reverse as well. They had no problem expressing their dislike toward a home run hit by the opposing team.
The catcher decides what pitch is to be thrown and prevents runners from advancing around the bases. The infielders are first base, second base, third base, short stop and they field balls that are hit to them to make outs. The outfielders are left field, right field, and center field. They field balls that are hit to the outfield and back up the infielders. 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.
He was so excited, I could see his anticipation. As soon as he approached the team he passed them up making his way to the tee so he could bat. The coach gave him the bat and he was able to hold the bat and swing it with coordination. He knocked the ball off the tee and started running with instruction from his mom. He ran about five steps towards first base and then curved around to retrieve the ball.
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.

In Robert Wallace’s The Double Play, the author writes a poem about a double play in baseball and uses similes to compare it do a dance. The poem takes the reader step by step through the entire play until the inning is over. It starts with the pitcher throwing the baseball towards the batter, and then it describes how the ball is hit. Soon after, the ball gets picked up by the defending player who quickly throws it to second base, and consequently the ball gets thrown to first base to finish the play. 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.
On October 1, 1932 at Wrigley Field in Chicago, the Cubs and the Yankees faced off in game three of the World Series. During this game, the Cubs players and the fans were taunting and yelling things toward Babe the entire game. During the fifth inning of the game, Babe had two strikes against him and the crowd was going wild, yelling things toward Babe (legends 1). Ruth stepped up to the plate for the next pitch and steps out of the box apparently gesturing toward center field. The next pitch, Ruth hits a home run right down center field.
Dodgers Game Have you ever had your adrenaline pumping and you feel like you’ll burst? You might have this feeling if you go to a Dodgers game.
