Personal Narrative: Baseball Change
Baseball Change
The baseball bag laying there all alone on a perfect day. With nobody to play catch or to hit. There I am thinking its just a hobby, passing up all the moments I could have practiced. All the missed opportunities I missed. I wish I could take it back. Now I have realized its more than just a hobby its my passion.
I remember as a kid I was not so great at baseball. I remember the long games I used to have with terrible at bats and the long outings I used to have as a pitcher.

Without having the dedication or motivation none of this could have happened. I went from playing catch once a week to everyday. I also would continue on and play baseball at Parkway South High School and lead that season in strikeouts. As I grew older I started to realize that I have the capability to play baseball for the rest of my life and that's something that is unexplainable.

Yeah people might think I’m good at baseball but nobody knows what I had to go through to get where I am today. It took me sometime to realize baseball was more than just a hobby and I'm glad I did. Without the change I wouldn't be the same athlete I am today. Today I look back on myself as the same athlete I am today even though I take baseball more seriously it's still a game it's just played differently and takes a whole lot more to continue on and play at the next level.
