Personal Narrative: Michigan Vs. Ohio State Games

Improved Essays
It was the week of the Michigan vs. Ohio State game and Michigan was at home, Begley and I had spent most our time in physics class talking about it and how Michigan was going to pull off a huge upset. 5 days before that unforgettable Saturday Begley told me and two of my friends he was going to buy us student section tickets and take us to the game. I immediately called bullshit and laughed, it seemed like complete blasphemy because he wanted student section tickets that would cost $125 each and another $100 each to be verified. A $900 event, no high school student can just pull this kind of money out of their ass. That is when Begley pulled off something I thought was impossible. This fucker sold more dope than my dorm bathroom can hold within …show more content…
My coach said he got in some trouble with his mom and we shouldn’t be hanging around him, he wouldn’t tell me the story though but my teammate Gage knew all the details. Gage told us that he got in a fight with his stepdad the day before and that he knocked his stepdad out trying to defend his sister. It turned out that was the truth, Begley got put in a lose-lose situation trying to defend his little sister that he loved and his mom called the police on him. I was completely shocked that his own mother would do such a thing to him, to take away baseball from him; she took his whole world out from under him. I tried reaching out to him but it would be days before I seen my good friend again, and finally when I see him in class he was just not the same. Begley had nothing to live for; he was sad and had forgotten about baseball and most importantly he forgot about his good friends. Trying to talk to him he basically ignored me and show no desire to be friends and that is when I knew he was headed in the wrong …show more content…
He wasn’t even living at home most nights and not coming to school, my friends and I had lost almost all our connection until he came over one Saturday night with some assholes. They rolled up to my house like they owned the place flashing off their new clothing, expensive shoes, and accessories. Begley claimed that he had just went on a $2,000 shopping spree after making a lot of money from selling dope. The chiseler looked like himself again with that cocky smile and know it all attitude, he was a bad-ass again and everyone loved it. He tossed me a pair of expensive Evoshield socks that he said wouldn’t fit him and I must say they’re still the nicest socks I’ve ever owned. Then he asked to put some of the stuff he bought in my car so when we went to his house later I could just drop it off. The night went on and we had a lot of fun, it felt like the good ole days having Bullshit Begley

    We started Jack Foster on the mound, but, it didn’t go as planned. They started hitting bombs off him and scored five runs in the first inning. My heart sank after that and most of the team had lost hope. Our coach asked if after all we have done were we going to give up just like that. I remember us fighting back into the game.…

    During that very special baseball game I was beasting at shortstop. Every time a ball was hit my way I would either catch it or scoop it up off the ground depending on what type of hit it was but if the ball came my way my fans already knew what was going to happen. My fans already knew that I was going to get the batter out or get a double play and most of the time I did. It felt so great knowing that I helped my team achieve excellence and earn victories. My team had a very strong and unstoppable defense and if it wasn't for our teamwork, we wouldn't have had such a successful season.…

In the United States, professional football is the most popular sport on Sundays. But also all Americans know that going to a NFL game is really expensive these days.…
