One question that I am very familiar with that I know can lead to continuous arguments is this: “Aren’t baseball and softball the same thing?”. Many people believe that they are pretty much the same thing. Other people think that they are very different‚ and many of those people think that one sport is better than the other.

Comparing and Contrasting Baseball Players of Different I believe that an individual cannot compare between baseball players of different Era’s. The reason why I say this is because the game has changed dramatically. Over the years American League has allowed designated hitters since 1973‚ while the National League hasn’t. A designated hitter is a batter who bats instead of the pitcher. In the 1960’s pitchers did not have relief pitching‚ so you basically threw until your arm fell off. It was

Baseball is the best thing that has ever happened for my life. When I was younger I always played impact football ‚ but was never really interested in doing anything else.

Why do Certain Pitches in Baseball Curve? Scientifically‚ it seems humanly impossible to hit a 95 mile-per-hour straight fastball‚ but we see the professionals do it all the time!

And remember‚ it is not always a straight fastball shooting out of the pitcher’s hand. Sometimes pitchers hurl in an off-speed pitch with movement to throw the hitters off their

There are many motifs in Shakespeare’s Macbeth‚ but one of the most important is the recurring disassociation of appearance and reality. The entire motif is introduced in the first scene when the witches say “Fair is foul and foul is fair” (1‚i‚12). This is then reiterated as important when Macbeth says‚ “So foul and fair a day I have not seen.” (1‚iii‚ 39). Drawing parallels and comparing two polar opposites‚ such as foul and fair‚ sets the stage for the dissimilarity between appearance and reality

I have been around baseball since the day I was born. My godmother wore a New York Yankees jacket to the hospital in hopes of inspiring me to be a player. As early as I can remember I was hitting baseballs with my dad on the drive. Even though I am considered a skilled and impressive player‚ the game I love is all about failure. Players that fail seventy percent of the time are considered to be the best in the world. So this is where I developed the skill of mental toughness that I apply in
