The Joy of the Best Sport

You can observe a lot by watching

Yogi Berra

 

When I was just little I noticed I had a desire for a specific sport that I loved with all my heart; that sport was baseball. Yes many people say it’s too slow for them and they don’t find it interesting but I think the total opposite of that. I love the game in so many different ways. Some of those ways are when I’m catching, winning, and the weather baseball is played in.

      Catching is my favorite position by a long shot. This position is very important because you can’t take a play off, unlike if you’re playing somewhere in the outfield where you would be able to take a pitch off. You have to have total focus on every single pitch during the game. Catching is just like playing qb in football because the qb is the leader of the field and has control where everyone is and that’s the same for the catcher on the baseball diamond.

      Winning a baseball game makes my day. The best part about winning is that there are no long car rides home where your parents are mad that you didn’t win. Another part that makes winning so much better is that most of the time we have a party with all your friends. You can’t really ask for more if you win a baseball game on a hot summer day they go enjoy the win with your friends.

     80 degrees 7:15 July 13 playing baseball under the lights with your best friends. Tell me something better than that? If you said something you’re wrong because that’s the best thing that any human being could ask for. When talking about the weather during the baseball season I’m not just  leaning towards summer ball because trust me I’ve played in 20 degrees and snowed once and that is fun! This paragraph is all about how the weather in baseball is the best weather you can play in. You can play in the scorching heat, downpour or even when it’s snowing.

Everyone has their own loving passions and mine is baseball.
