Graduation Speech: How To Play Baseball
Hes out!! That’s how you play baseball.Hey want me to teach you how to play? There are many positions for you to choose from.There's a first basemen, a second basemen, a third basemen, a catcher, pitcher, right fielder, left fielder and a center fielder. I play first base and pitcher. I think they're fun. They are positions that keep me on my toes. This year I hit 5 homeruns and 2 grand slam. What is a home run? A home run is when you are batting and you hit one over the fence or are able to get around the bases in time before the other team players get you out. This happens all because of one great hit. A grand slam is when you hit one over the fence with all the bases full of people. This is the ultimate prize in baseball. It feels great to score 4 points for your team. I love hitting.
There are four bases first base, second base, third base and home plate.

If the one of your teammates hits the ball and someone catches it then you haft to go back to the base you were at . When they hit it or you are out. If you are at the base when they catch it you can still run that's called tagging up. If you get all the way home then that is you score a point. If you are a pitcher you can do all sorts of pitches like curve balls, fast balls, change ups, nucle ball, two seam,fastball, slider, screwball, and much more. That’s why I like being a

    Adults, kids, and the retired all spent their time watching or playing the great game of baseball that once did not seem so interesting. George Herman Ruth is responsible for the term the grand slam. A grand slam in the game of baseball is when bases are loaded and the player at bat hits a homerun allowing your team to advance four points. Ruth had 4 grand slams in 1920, which remained a Major league high for forty years (Berke 45 – 46).…

    Honestly, I like to think of baseball as an indefinite chess match, and you can sit there and try to take pieces early in the game or you can let your master plan kind of evolve and if you go out and get these big name pitcher and hitters who are 28-29 in the prime of their career and give them these 7-8 year contracts worth 200 million dollars. Well in that fifth, sixth, seventh year. They start breaking down and you’re paying them 20-30 million dollars a year and you can’t put enough good pieces around a single player to make up for…

    Baseball is a very fun game to play. While playing the sport the idea is to hit the ball and score a run the more runs you score the better. Baseball is a nine inning game, one inning is when a team hits and plays in the field. When playing baseball try to hit the baseball on offense and on defense try to catch the ball or tag the person out. I know this sounds hard but after a while it gets easier and more fun to play.…

    Then we got down to business and took the field. Keegan started pitching the ball to me. Soon enough the ump said “balls in”, which meant I had to throw the ball down to second base, so the game could start. It was a pretty quick inning because nobody could get a hit off of Keegan.…

    The Game of Wiffleball

    • 347 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The WIFFLE ball was designed to take the place of baseball, stickball and softball for boys and girls in back yards and city streets. It is made of a tough rubbery plastic – is light in weight and cannot be thrown or hit any great distance. The WIFFLE ball is also an excellent indoor ball. The WIFFLE ball is thrown like a baseball and will curve very easily. The minimum number of players required to play a game with the WIFFLEball is two – the pitcher and batter – one player per side. The maximum number of players that can complete are ten – five players to a side. If a full team is playing, each side will consist of a catcher, pitcher, double area fielder, triple area fielder and home run area fielder. Fielders cannot move from one area to another when a full team is playing. When more than two players are playing, captains for each side are picked and they choose their respective teams alternately. As in baseball, the game is played with one team at bat and one team in the field. The batting order of the team at bat shall be Pitcher, Catcher, Double Area player, Triple Area player and finally Home Run area player. The rules of play are similar to baseball, however there is no base running. Three outs to retire a side, per inning, nine innings per game. In case of a tie, additional innings are played. For a complete inning, both sides must bat. An out for the batter can be made in three ways: 1.The batter can strike out only if he/she swings at a pitched ball and does not foul tip the third strike. Foul tips count as a strike for the first two strikes only. A foul tip caught in back of the batters box does not count as an out. 2. Fly balls caught in fair or foul territory. 3. Ground balls caught while the ball is in motion, in fair territory. Bunting is not allowed and the batter cannot obtain a base on…

    In the middle of the field is what is known as a pitch. A pitch is a hard, flat strip of dry ground around 18 metres long. Two batsmen are at the pitch at a time, both at different ends, with one facing the delivery of the ball from the bowler. The bowler runs up to the pitch where he bowls the ball over arm with a straight arm. Teams score by getting runs. A run is completed when a batsman hits the ball and then runs to the other end of the cricket pitch, getting past the crease. The non striking batsman has to run to the opposite…
