This series was played during World War 1, and prior to the first game at Comiskey Park the White Sox played the Star Spangled Banner to honor the troops. This would be the first time the Star Spangled Banner was played prior to a game and would become a common practice till this day. In 2005 the White Sox were a different team from what they have been in the past. They had powerful pitching and had the hitters to go with it. Then went in the playoffs as the underdogs but proved to be none the less.
Pitching is the biggest attribute a team can have going into the playoffs. A team that can limit the amount of runs scored by the opposing team the better chance of winning a game. For example the 2005 Astros were able to out pitch the opposing teams to get to the World Series. The 2005 Astros had one of the best pitching rotation in all of baseball at the time to led the them to World Series. Whichever team pitches better in the series has the best of winning.
There is an electric feeling in the air as soon as you get out of your car in the parking lot. When the game starts, the fans are going crazy from the first pitch. There is nothing more exciting than waving the rally towel in the air as the Cardinals get the final out. My favorite days are the days that I am privileged enough to go to Busch Stadium and watch a baseball game. The St. Louis Cardinals are one of the best franchises in all of baseball and I have always been a huge fan.
It was a hard fought game all the way through until we broke out 6 runs in the final inning the clinch the win. Our fourth game was against the hosting team of the tournament, Stilly Valley Little League. We knew it was going to be one of our toughest opponents since they were all well rested because they didn’t have to drive 6 hours to get there. Once again, we started off very slow and let them gain the lead by 2 runs after the first inning. We came back around the 5th inning with the score still at 2-0 and we scored 4 runs to get us back into the game.

Sara Gannon Professor Levy English 101 - WB 18 April 2014 History of America’s baseball team, the New York Yankees The New York Yankees are hands down the most successful baseball team to date. They are a great team by the factoring in winning 27 World Series games, and having undoubtedly the best players to ever play in the league and wear their famous pinstripe uniforms. From handling different ownerships through-out the years, and being the headline of the newspaper, they sure can manage everything that is thrown at them. The team has even had over 40 of their own players be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame (“Yankees Hall of Famers”). The baseball team that everybody all knows and loves today was first brought to life in
Bottom of the seventh inning, bases loaded, two outs, my team is up by one run, and the count on the batter is three balls and two strikes. To outsiders watching it's just a game, win or loose it means nothing. To me- the player, it means everything. My ten-year-old heart is beating
The players’ unethical practices of gambling, drinking, brawling, and loitering lead to admonishment and fines. Some leagues went to the extreme and blacklisted such players to keep them from playing for another club. (Rader, 2009, pg. 60) Baseball’s transition from a childhood pass time to a professional major league sport leaves us in admiration and with a sense of respect towards the sport. It built up from nothing, including no rules or regulations, to a business enterprise in every powerhouse city in the nation.
Baseball is a great North American tradition; spending a day playing or watching a game was and still is, a great passtime in North American culture. However the game has changed over the generations that have grown up playing the game. Baseball players do not just play for the love of the game, rather the fame, glory, and money that come with the profession. Where does all that come from? Statistics.
March 10, 2013 James Buckley Jr. Care of Triumph Books 601 S. LaSalle St Suite 500 Chicago, Illinois 60605 Dear James Buckley Jr.: I recently completed your book “Perfect,” and I was very impressed. My father brought it home one night for me to read, and it instantly caught my eye. The cover is very interesting and absorbing. I realized it was an older book due to it saying “The Inside Story of Baseball’s Seventeen Perfect Games,” when there are twenty-three perfect games as of 2013. Also, being a pretty big baseball fan, I recognized Randy Johnson on the cover, and he has been retired since 2009.
