Personal Narrative: My First Baseball Tournament
Over the summer we went to Nashville, Memphis and Notre Dame for baseball tournaments. While at Notre Dame we visited the campus and saw touchdown Jesus while taking a tour of the football field. Also after the tour we had a game on their field, the entire field was turf. As you walked into their complex you heard the popping of the catcher’s mitt from the pitch that came in around 80 mile per hour. As well as the crack from the wood bats as the players made solid contact

For our first tournament of the year we went to Memphis, Tennessee while there we played stiff competition. It was the first time all of us as a team have really been together and we all played together well. The first game I was behind the plate the feel of the glove being

    Narrative Essay On Joseph Moore

    I will always remember the kids that were playing there and I think that some of those kids would go to the mlb. So me and my dad finally arrived at the ballparks and I then rolled my bag over to where my team was staying. I then slowly walked over to my team and began to greet them. My coach looked really familiar and he was bald and wearing these shaded glasses. I also remember one of the kids named Derek who went and tossed with me in the grass on one the fields we were by and every time he went up to bat he would use a wooden bat and he hit very well in each game. We then played 2 games, one against white and one against gray. It was very funny playing the white team because Johnny, Logan, and Nick were all on that team (they used to be on the same team). Anyway, my team did well and we won against white team but lost to the gray team. I was ⅗ as an average in each game. So now on to the exciting part. The very next day, there were these challenges that everybody did called Golden Arm, Base Running, and the Homerun Derby. I decided to do the Golden Arm and the Base Running. In the base running, I didn’t do so well (the guy in first was a minute faster than me), but in the Golden Arm, that is a different story. So basically you had to stand in front of the mound and…

    Baseball Personal Statement

    Growing up, two things in my household were certain: mathematics and baseball. Being the son of a mathematics and statistics professor, the subjects themselves were never in short supply; however, it was not the immediate exposure of statistics that instilled my love for the science; it was baseball. Every summer, my dad was the coach for the legion baseball team, and when I myself was not playing, I helped keep the book for my dad’s team.…

    Personal Narrative: My Leadership In Baseball

    Leadership is a prized commodity, however, it is not one that has always come naturally to me. I was a rather quiet kid growing up, and so I rarely let my voice be heard while I was at school. Despite my timid nature, I was able to develop enough self-confidence to open up to others and share my feelings through baseball. Baseball is truly a team sport, requiring constant communication and trust between teammates. As such, the close companionship I held with my team mates created the ideal environment for me to develop my leadership skills. Base running was always my strongest skill, so I constantly found myself teaching my teammates how to gain the advantage. I became the unofficial base running coach year after year, even as the teams changed…

    Personal Narrative: My Goals In The MLB

    As a kid, I always wanted to play professional baseball and live up to my dream to play in the MLB. I had high expectations for myself, and I was really determined to achieve my goal and live a successful life. I was convinced for a long time that playing baseball was the right choice for me, but that has changed over some time. As time has passed, I now have a different mindset; to work in the field of criminal justice. Success is the accomplishment of one’s goals, and I now have a new goal that I wish to accomplishment later on in my life. I hope to work in this field by first enlisting in the military, then becoming a police officer, and finally work my way up to a higher position. If I can achieve these goals during my life time, then I…

    Personal Narrative: My Best Baseball Player

    It was an amazing time and i was imagining me in the hall of fame and being one of the best baseball players ever. We get back to our dorm and we find out we are going to face. It was the best team in California and they were projected to win the whole tournament. We were all so nervous and trying to focus. We ended up winning the game 5 to 4 with me hitting 2 homeruns. We were onto the championship game. It was view online by thousands of people and everybody was watching us. It was the most nervous I have even been for a game. A lot of people were watching us and everybody was trying to stay calm and act like nobody's watching. That calmed everybody down. It was the 7th inning and it was a tie game. We were up to bat against a pitcher that was throwing 80 miles per hour. Our lead off hitter got on base with a walk. The next hitter got hit by the pitch. He got a base hit and the bases were loaded with no outs. I was up to bat and I was very nervous and was thinking not to try too hard and try to get a hit. My coach called me over and said “ Don’t be nervous, it’s just like a normal at bat, you don’t need be overly anxious and try to be a hero.” That helped me out a lot, I was calm and was trying to do nothing special. I swing and miss at the first pitch. The second was a ball outside, it was a 1-1 count. The next pitch was a fastball right down the middle. I took my hardest swing I could and I hit the ball right on the…

    Personal Narrative: My First District Tournament

    Ten and a half pounds over the weight you have to be the day before the District tournament is not the place you want to be in. This may have been one of the worst days of my entire life. Running for hours wanting to give up, feeling like I was ready to pass out, sweating bullets, and body aching. Tasting the acid in my mouth, my stomach empty, and my head pounding. Skipping breakfast and lunch and not being able to drink or eat until a very light dinner was the worst.…

    My first trip to a baseball stadium was an experience that will make a long lasting impression on me. Having played on a little league team and having the experiences of playing on a little league field, it is nothing compared to what I saw the first time. It was a night game in the month of May. It was a warm night the bright yellowish-orange sun hit my body; my excitement was growing in anticipation of what was going to be a completely new experience for me, I was going to see my first professional baseball game.…

    The Hit of a Lifetime

    My sophomore year of baseball was going great. I was starting varsity at second base and contributing to my team in any way. I was doing what I needed to do. Our team was a force to be reckoned with in this state, and we knew it. Our first test was the MSAC championship game, a home game. The cards were laid out great for us. We were hosting Princeton High, who later became the 2012 state champions. The day came, but we only played a few innings before the skies unleashed on us with rain and lightning. The players, coaches, umpires, and a few dedicated fans tried to wait out the storm. We waited until around 11:30 p.m., when the umpires decided to postpone the game until the next day.…

    A Narrative Essay About Stadiums

    We were in Canada in Summer. My family was headed to the CN tower, one of the tallest towers in the world. As we were heading towards the tall landmark, we saw Rogers stadium. That is where the Toronto Blue Jays play. It looked like there was a game going on in the stadium. Everyone was wearing any kind of Blue Jays apparel. Since I was from the Washington D.C area, I was a Nationals Fan. The plans for that day was to go to the CN tower and go back to our hotel. All of that changed. My mom was amazed at the size of the stadium. As we were heading towards the entrance for the CN tower, my mom requested to go to the baseball game. In most of baseball stadiums, there is a hotel in the stadium. We went into the hotel part of the stadium and checked out if there was actually a game going on. There were windows that showed the field. We walked towards them and suddenly, the…
