The MLB rules are getting too confusing. In 2016 alone the MLB has amended 21 of the existing rules and added 3 brand new…
line as the top girl stands up. She performs a stunt when she feels weightless at the top of the throw. In this photo, you can clearly see that she is twisting her body on two different axes, but I will only be talking about her twisting on the vertical axis. The picture was taken after she was tossed into the air, during her rotation. This photo was taken at Washington State University by Paul Twibell, during a football game. Stunting in cheerleading involves many different physics concepts…
Several people often misconceive softball as being an effortless, female dominated sport that requires little to no skill. Some say that softball is just a sport in which you hit the ball and run through bases trying not to get out. People who have never played softball, let alone any other sport, will say that softball is made easier for females. Before I began to play softball, I too speculated that softball was one of the most basic sports there was. Speaking from experience, softball is…

I had practiced this so many times before, I had the drill down but I still had butterflies dancing in my stomach. The butterflies became dragonflies when the flew straight to me instead of Mario like we had practiced. With a boom the ball flew into the air and with the stadium lights shining bright, the ball took a bounce and I grabbed it. I was startled at first because I wasn't really supposed to get the ball; I panicked. “Follow me!” Mario yelled as he took the lead in front of me. The crowd…
It was the last night of winter break and I had a indoor baseball practice on the snowy night. The practice was going well as we were taking ground balls and working hitting on our swings. I was hitting in the cage and next you know, “Crack”, blood was rushing down the back of my head. Off balance, barely being able to see straight, everything was a blur. The person in the cage behind me let go of the bat and hit me in the back of the head. My coach bolted over, “Is everything ok”, he asked. I…
ear was “STRIKE HIM OUT!!!” My left I could feel every stomp and scream run through my body like if it was about to explode. As I release the last pitch of the game I could see the batter looking at the ball as if it was a fireball coming right at him. Once that ball hit the glove I could smell the burnt wood from the bat missing the ball by inches. My teammates were running toward me and screaming at the top of their lungs. In the game of baseball most people learn many different qualities in…
“Easy-out!” I hear snickers from the opposing team, while my own team holds their breath. The pitcher rolls the ball towards my eight-year-old self, pity in their eyes. It skids towards me, and I kick it away, pathetically slowly. Just as they predicted, I am out. For the rest of the summer camp, I avoided all the kickball games in shame. For years afterward, I tried to avoid competition and conflict of any sort. I stayed away from card and board games, and when my classmates shrieked with…
