Major League Baseball All-Star Game

saying... you're telling me we could have played the best XI. So you tell me the best XI and we'll play that. I'm saying the loss obviously hurts. But you make one decision and you back it. We certainly don't sit here and say, 'oh if you fail in one game you are not good enough to be at this level or...' once the team loses. “Didn't we lose in India? We had the best XI there. Whoever plays should be good enough to go out there and do the job for the team. That's why we've got such a big squad.…

Math is used in Baseball in all different ways like when determining what the player’s batting average is, what the pitcher’s earned run average is, and the player’s on base percentage. These are just a couple ways math is used in baseball but they are on the more important side because they allow fans and other organizations to see your stats and see if you will be good enough to join their club and possibly help win the world series. Math is used in baseball with finding these three statistics…

Game Winning Hit It was the last inning of the Area Championship, Startown Vs. Saint Stephens “cross town rivals”. We were playing at Saint Stephens Ballpark but we won the toss and we decided to be the home team. I was up to the bat with a runner on third and the game was tied 6-6. With two outs, the opposing coach wanted to walk me to bring up the next batter. So this was machine pitch baseball and you never got walked so this crazy/ Disrespectful guy tried to walk me and we said you can't…

when I was younger and had always been the star of the team. I wasn’t expecting to come in and be a hot shot, but I also wasn’t expecting to be the bottom man of the totem pole. We had a large team and the coaches knew that to get everyone playing time they would need to have some of us suit up for the first game and save others for a different game that would be easier. I was thrilled when coach said my name in the list of those suiting up for the first game regardless it was for the junior…

American and National leagues were different. They also talked about players like Mike Trout, Babe Ruth, and Clayton Kershaw. They also talked about how the Yankees were the best ranked team; they have over 20 world titles while their rivals (the Boston Red Sox) only had 8. Ever since the early 1900’s the two teams have been rivals. Baseball was famous around the late 1800’s.

And then Mickey Mantle looked at me. Mickey Mantle, he looked at me! And he spoke. “What are you supposed to be? He said. I froze.…

From Tee Ball to now, softball has made a huge impact on my life. Ever since I was 5 years old, I have been playing the game that I love the most. Imagine standing on a softball field expected to perform at the age of 5. Even though the butterflies in my stomach were fixing to start a war, nothing was going to stop me from stepping on that field to play my first tee ball game as a Little Tiger. Fans cheered, but what I noticed most was, a little boy in outfield picking his nose. Standing…
