Cricket vs. Baseball Many people always ask me one question: “What is cricket and is it like baseball?” I always tell them that cricket and baseball are two completely different sports with their own rules.

Around 1550, there was evidence that cricket was played by people in Guildford, Surrey in England. However, many historians believe that the sport was discussed by the French before 1550. The
I plan to make the varsity baseball team by lifting weights, hitting every day, and fielding ground balls every day. This is the biggest goal right now in my life and I want to be very successful with it. A lot of four year universities won’t take a guy that sat on varsity reserve throughout his two years at Iowa Central.

things in my life, but baseball seems to be the only thing that I’m most successful at in my life. I’ve been playing baseball since I was three years old!
