Descriptive Essay: The Boston Red Sox Team
On a cool October 30th the Cardinals are set to play the Boston Red Sox facing an elimination scenario. Boston has a chance to clinch the World Series in front of the home crowd for the first time since 1918. The atmosphere in Boston is going to be a factor. When a fan base knows that the team has a chance to win the championship, it brings out a little edge. Out of all the championship teams, none of them have had an effect on the fans as this year’s club.
*Flash Back*
*8 Hours before the game* I woke up from the sound of my dad yelling at me saying, “Do you want to go to the Red Sox game or not?” “What do you mean it’s like eight o’clock.” I said in a confused way. “Yeah, how about you check the time smart one.” “Oh shit!” I screamed.

One beautiful sunny morning shattering into darkness? We didn’t have anytime. Going back home then coming back isn’t an option the game would be over. I just stared at the walls of Fenway Park and thought to myself maybe another day. So this was it, three-hundred dollars or more down the drain. I looked up and got lost in the beautiful twilight of the sky before coming back to reality and thinking how we would be able to still go to the game. Apparently my uncle was smarter than us because he was already walking in the other direction. I didn't have a clue where he was going. When we finally caught up to him he was standing in front of a booth called the “Will Call” booth. “You guys forget your tickets?” The girl at the booth said to us. How did she know does this happen a lot to people?
“Yeah, what do we do to get them back?” I said
“Just give me your credit card number.” My uncle handed her his card and she pressed some buttons and gave us four tickets. I shuffled through my stuff and my pockets and tried to find some money. I found five bucks and asked her,
“You accept tips?”
“Is this your first game or something?
“Yeah, will you just take the five bucks?”
“I don't usually accept tips but yeah sure why not, I don't get payed enough at this job.”
I caught up with my dad as we scanned our tickets and walked in the park.
*After the game* I guess our good luck didn't run out cause the Red Sox won the game against the Indians 7-3. I got to the car and passed

    At one minute after midnight, the Red Sox closed out the Yankees 10-3 in Game 7 when Ruben Sierra grounded out to second base. Nothing whacky happened. No ball through someone's legs, no errant throw, no sudden breeze from the supposed ghosts of Yankee Stadium. Just a simple throw by Pokey Reese to first and the Red Sox were the American League champions.…

    In a move to bring baseball to all parts of the country, the Giants also decided to relocate from New York to San Francisco. The Brooklyn Dodgers played their last game at Ebbets Field on September 24, 1957 and the following year, April 18, 1958, the Dodgers played their first game in Los Angeles, defeating the Giants, 6-5, before 78,672 fans at the LA Coliseum. Demolition on Ebbets Field began on February 23, 1960 where a wrecking ball painted like a baseball fell through the visitors dug-out and crashed through millions of people hearts. Today Ebbets Field is a housing project with nothing left in but a part of the exterior right field wall with Ebbets Field written on it. When walking around the hallowed ground you can’t help but get goose bumps when the same Bedford Ave where Duke Snyder used hit home runs on to, or hear the ghostly echo of fans cheering as they once did, or try to imagine where it was with relation to the street when Jackie Robinson stole home and changed the game of baseball. It may not be there in person but the legend about it will never die. It was once the home to not only some of baseball legends and its colorful fans but Brooklyn still mourns over the loss of Their Dodgers and the demolition of their beloved palace Ebbets…

    Tipping Case Study

    • 2 Pages

    As discussed in Chapter 27, tipping varies widely and is a controversial topic. We may face some customers who tip generously even after receiving poor service, and other ones that may verbally praise a server for providing excellent service, however, leave the restaurant without tipping. This definitely has an effect on how servers treat customers. However, the quality of service and server’s expectations are not entirely motivated by tipping practices. Countless observable customer and table characteristics affect servers' expectations for receiving a good or poor tip, whether it’s age, race, gender or attire. Those imply servers' stereotypical expectations.…

    Grandfathers Appreciation

    The game fell on a Sunday afternoon. I’m pretty sure that I didn’t get a wink of sleep the night before. I had been guarding the front door, like a soldier on the front lines, in anticipation of my Grandfathers arrival that morning. My patience had finally paid off when I saw his 1976 Buick Electra turn the corner at the end of the block. My Grandfathers car was as big as battleship, same color too! Before he could pull in the driveway I was already waiting for him at the street. With a wave back at my parents we were off. I believe the drive downtown from my house was only about a 45 minute drive but it seemed like hours. Even with all the talk about how the Cardinals players had been doing thus far that season. I remember my Grandfather going on about how Neil Lomax was going to have a fantastic year and break the passing record for touchdown passes this season. Now I wasn’t very old but I was thinking that my Grandpa was being a little delusional. We finally arrived downtown and I started to get a glimpse of all the tall buildings. I had never seen anything like it in person. I was in shock at the size of these structures. Within minutes we were at the stadium looking for a parking spot. Bush Stadium was magnificent in its appearance, large and round with the arched windows that circled the rooftop. Flags, adorned with team insignias, were flapping in the wind on the peak of these…

    Scouting The Braves

    There were forty three thousand fans that showed up and all had on some type of shirt supporting their team. Many fans had on jerseys of their favorite player, while others wore a shirt the color of their team. While the fans dressed to support their team, the players put on their jerseys in which they all wear a hat, a shirt with their team name on it, pants, belt, and baseball cleats. The only difference separating the two teams is the colors of their team and their name. Every player in the field has a baseball glove and the players batting carry a bat. All the fans are chanting for the home team, the Atlanta Braves and mostly all of the fans are doing the “chop” with foam tomahawk chops they gave out before the game. Every time someone gets a hit for the home team the fans start clapping, cheering and shouting in joy for their team. The opposite happens when something good happens…
