This excerpt attempts to connect engineering and principles related to engineering to the sport of baseball. It starts out with an engineering student that asks a question about the loyalty towards the work he is assigned to do in the near future if the work doesn’t agree with his moral principles. The questioned describes to the reader how during his time they didn’t worry about those issues. They had different issues back in those days. However, he notices that today these sorts of problems can arise as a result of the widespread doubts about modern day technology.…
It’s the 1940’s; 1944 to be exact. You’ve been drifting in and out of a variety of camps, struggling to stay as alive and hopeful as possible. The days and nights are starting to blend together into a gray smudge, and your will to live is beginning to dissipate. This was the constant struggle of the Jewish people during the second World War. Every waking moment was spent in constant fear and misery, Now, does that compare to being taken from your home and having to pursue your own entertainment? Two children, Elie and Shorty, survived these trials and lived to tell the tale. In “Night”, by Elie Wiesel, and “Baseball Saved Us”, by Ken Mochizuki, both of the main characters experienced things that changed the way they viewed a variety of subjects.…
Baseball was invented in the late 1840’s. “Popularity was spread during the Civil War and baseball was played in Union Camps all over America” (Stewart 4).

Baseball has changed greatly over time in many positive ways because of changes in rules, popularity, and strategies.…

But to be effective and successful in the game it is essential to practice the game a lot and get proper official training.…
I believe that baseball is America’s pastime because haven’t you heard the names of Griffey, Ruth, and Trout, It’s even played on diamonds it is the best sport on the planet no doubt. It is the best sport on the planet but it is also the hardest because you have to hit a round ball with a round bat at 90 plus mph. The reason people love this game as Derek Jeter once said “I think everybody can relate.” He also said this as well “Baseball is up and down. I think life’s like that sometimes, you know. Back and forth, up and down.” So what he means by saying this is that the reason everybody likes it is because baseball is just like life one minute you can be on top of the world or down in the dumps just like real life.…
For baseball players it is essential to stay healthy. One of the many reasons is that if a player is hurt for too long a period, he may lose his starting position. Though this is always in the forefront of a players mind, the first thing he should think about is healing his body so that he might continue his career. The most common injury to baseball players is tennis elbow and tennis elbow is only treated by having Tommy John’s surgery, which takes months of recovery. Baseball players also have to deal with the problem of dislocated joints and broken bones. Though baseball may seem like a less injury prone sport than soccer or football in can have just as big of an impact on the players life.…

Baseball may seem like a game where individuals remain around and sit tight for a ball to be hit, yet that is not what baseball truly is. To me, this game has changed the way I see life all in all. Each player has been taught to have great hard working attitude, regardless of whether it's in a weight room or even practices. Coaches have given leadership chances to players every year and this year it's my turn due to my hard working attitude and my capacity to lead a team. I didn't turn into the individual I am by simply sitting around. If not for baseball, I wouldn't have that additional push individuals need to succeed. Everything began off sophomore year during baseball season. It was about mid-path through…
Many people look at baseball and see a slow-moving game with a bat and a ball, but it is so much more than that. What they do not fully comprehend is the strategic and mentally challenging aspects of the sport that make it special and complex. Baseball is a game filled with life lessons. It teaches you how to have a strong work ethic, be competitive, control the things that you can control, make a plan, and, most importantly, how to fail. As the great Ted Williams once said, "Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer." Everyone fails, and everyone is thrown curveballs in life, but baseball helps us react to those curveballs and hit them out of the park.…
Do you like baseball? Well I do and I feel really strong about schools having baseball especially middle schools in the Kent school district.

I’m personally a baseball player I am catcher I’m not going to lie but I have been hit and almost knocked out before multiple times it…
Baseball is not a game for the weak minded. You can strike out 6 out of 10 times at the plate and still be a great batter. One thing baseball will teach anybody who plays it is comradery. A brotherhood within the players that will always be there! I don’t believe there is any other sport out there that gives you that sense of trusting one another. Baseball is the only sport I know that is an individual sport and team sport at the same time!…
