How to keep a Base Ball Score Book Self Reflection

The sport of baseball has been a huge part of my life since an early childhood. I was born in 1977 and grew up through the 80’s when a country boy had to ride the bus 1 hour to get home and then if you were lucky you were able to catch the last 10 minutes of Duck Tales and then a half hour episode of Chip and Dales Rescue Rangers. When that 5 o’clock hour would reach it was time to put on the glove and go out to the yard and play baseball. My brother Justin and I would spend hours playing catch, having home run derby’s with the power line as a make shift fence. Our dad would break out the baseball bat and hit fly balls to us and when that would become to routine we would start to make late jumps on the ball just to make sure that we had an opportunity for a diving catch. Baseball was a big part of my life and it still is now even into my mid 30’s. I now play the sport that It cherish so much for my family, granted it is no longer bus rides from town to town and the sun flower seeds with the high intensity speed, but trimmed down to a few nights a week with close friends and family playing slow pitch softball where more beer is drank then high fives are given. This brief introduction was and still is a big part of my life and the reason that I chose to give my process speech on the subject “How to fill out a baseball scorebook”.

    Athletics is ingrained in the human experience and is an integral part of American culture. Because of that, many of my weekends and after school hours have been dedicated to either watching a game or starting one with the kids in the neighborhood. Athletics runs deep in my family. My great uncle was a professional baseball player and my family, including my father, three brothers and a sister, are all very involved with the various team sports. It’s this immersion into various sporting activities that has led me to the understanding that engaging in athletics has a very positive impact in our lives. Additionally, sports are extremely important in building one’s character through hard work, learning to work with others on a team and by learning how to cope with the joy of winning and the inevitability of losing.…

    For well over a century, baseball has been hailed as America’s National Past Time. Baseball is uniquely American. In the 1989 baseball film, Field of Dreams, one of the main characters remarks on the importance of baseball for America. “Baseball,” he says, is “the one constant through all the years.” Baseball connects Americans to their past. “This field, this game,” he continues, “reminds us of all that once was good and that could be again.” This week, the tradition of Opening Day ushered in the 2015 baseball season—the 146th season of professional baseball in America.…

It was a trip of lifetime, my family and I ventured on a baseball park trip across the country. It was the ballpark journey that I gained an understanding of motivation, self-perseverance and inspiration to become the best version of myself.…

    Baseball has always been something that I have loved. Whenever I get the opportunity to be around baseball I am. I enjoy every aspect of the game, the pastime and now. That is why I chose the piece of art I did for this paper. For my piece of artwork, I didn’t choose a piece of art that was extremely famous by any means. I actually chose a piece of art that most people probably don’t even know exists. The piece of art I chose was Ebbets Field Giclee on Canvas by a man named Al Sorenson. Neither the painting or the artist are known very well, but this work of art actual made me feel something when I looked at it that provided me with the urge to write my paper about it. Some people may not enjoy it, but the sole fact that this painting is of baseball really hits home with me.…

    “Less than or about 10.5% of NCAA baseball seniors will get drafted, and out of those players only a few will become great” (Hume). “One thing that Derek Jeter, Hank Aaron, and Babe Ruth all possess is the drive and the will to become a great baseball player” (Hume). “When the coaches of these players saw how they handle themselves on and off the field, it shows that they have the characteristics of becoming a great baseball player” (Hume). “MLB recruiters are looking for someone who not only excels in the big things, but also on the little details. (Hume). “Becoming a pro takes great responsibility and it is very hard to become great, but if you have the will and the mind you can become great” (Hume).

    Baseball Memoir

    “GET HOME!!! GET HOME!!!” Those were the words my dad would yell from the third base coach’s box as I passed him rounding third! Baseball to me is more than just a game! Baseball is a passion, fueled by the desire to succeed, the passion to overcome, and the dedication to be great. A baseball field to me is like a stage is to a dancer or an open road for a biker; I just love every aspect of this amazing sport. It’s the field with its seemingly unfair depth, its soft green grass and the infamous red dirt, that make me have the passion for the game like my father did as a child. My life seemed to be limitless when I was in between that fence. Taking cuts on the tee, putting together a pickup game that didn’t matter who won or lost, or even on those days that practice seemed to never end, I still had the love for the game.…
