The air was filled with a haze of smoke. A smell of stale beer fought the cigarette smoke for superiority. The light over the pool table and the television barely broke through the darkness of the room revealing 6 to 7 men of varying ages. One man sat at the corner table with his head down and every few minutes lifting it to take a swig of his beer. While the rest of the men all set at one end of the bar near the television hooping and hollering and cheering on the sporting event on the television
at an afternoon game. It is the only big league game that plays all throughout the summer. Even in the early winter and late spring, baseball offers some sun at it’s spring training. It's a slow game This is the other biggest criticism, many people feel that the game is boring, but it is easier to follow when its slow. You can sit back and relax, chat a little, and you don't have to worry about missing the game. Baseball is a social game, a game about playing in
You are sitting in the bleachers of your son's baseball game, squished in between all the loud ruckuss of parent cheering and yelling. It’s the 9th inning and there is one strike left. You watch as your son lifts his leg, wind his arm back and throws the ball with all his strength. You hear a loud crack followed with a scream. Your heart starts pounding and your feet ache to run towards him, but all you can do is sit there and watch as the whole team rush over to him trying to cheer him up but
received all the practice uniforms and schedule. It was an unreal feeling. I grew up playing baseball and have always had a stronger arm than my fellow teammates. Always being taller and more athletic than the kids my age came with a lot of attention. The game of baseball came naturally. It
Last season was a poor one. I don’t believe we won a single game. We were primarily a team born in 2004, but we played in a 2003 league. When we lost, we lost by at least three goals. We hardly scored any goals, we conceded a lot more than we scored This has caused me to wish to win every game by as much as I can. I believe people should always try to win by as much as physically possible, even if it means making the other team feel bad about themselves. This can lead to people being happier and

One of my biggest mistakes was quitting wrestling to play only football. That previous year, I won The Little Devil’s Wrestling Championship. I also was playing my 4th year of football for The Little Knights. I quit because as a 3rd grader, I wasn’t committed to daily practices for both sports. I 100 percent enjoyed football more. Therefore, at the time, I chose football over wrestling. After quitting, I focused solely on football. I loved being apart of the team. The thought of playing
It all started at school. Everyone on the team was wearing their jerseys. Later in the day we had a pep rally in the school gym. It was a lot of fun and got us all pumped up for the big game. There were food and drinks for everyone and I had a good time. The next day was our game and I was focused on winning. We were going against St. Margaret and they we're pretty big, but that didn't phase us. Time for kickoff and we were receiving first. Billy, our starting running back, caught the ball and
are giving effort to steal the ball. The choice is for the officials if they will call it or not. Technical fouls are when a player or even a coach can do this type of foul. It does not involve the player or the ball. It’s about the “manners” of the game. Foul “talk”, rude gestures, or even not following the scorebook. It could be dunking during warm-ups also.
