Baseball

Other than football and basketball I also play baseball. I love baseball. It might not be the most athletic sports but it can be pretty intense at the end of the game in the 9th inning with 2 outs and hitting the game winning run to win. I am going to tryout for the Stevenson Spartans JV team. I broke my arm in April and now my arm cant bend far enough going both ways. So I might have to switch and use my left hand to throw. I have been practicing and I am pretty good at throwing a football with my left but I'm not sure about a baseball. The position I play is anywhere my coach wants me to play except pitcher. But I am mostly played at first, or third base and catcher. Not playing this year because of my arm could put me back a little bit but I think it will be fine come March. I am also a decent batter too. I think I was cleanup for my team the last year I played which was two years ago because of my arm. But I see baseball as a team sport and not s superstar sport. If I don't make the Stevenson team I'm still trying out for two other travel teams. But if I want to do good in the tryouts i'm going to have to start training as soon as football ends and throughout the winter. And a month before tryouts are, I will probably be at the batting cages at least three times a week. So if i make the Stevenson team then that means I will be on 3 different baseball teams next year. Other than football, I hope I can go far in this sport- at least through college. Peace

What is football?

Some people think that football is a boring sport to watch(which makes no sense). But to others-or the ones that know what they are talking about-think football is everything. The big hits echoing on the sidelines as someone gets decked on the ground and watching the player crawling back to the sidelines holding his gut and trying to get some air. And when you pancake that kid you look over to your sideline and you see the whole team cheering for you. That feeling is just one of the greatest things ever. After that you get ready to do it again next play. That is football. http://media.photobucket.com/video/reggie%20bush%20hit/ashniel/reggiebushhit.flv
Football is probably is one of or the biggest team sport. You can't have just one or two players that execute. If one person takes the play off then it can close or open up a hole and cause your defense to get sucked in and your offense to get the hole closed up on. Some teams might have a lot of talent but the players don't play as a team. They just think its all about themselves. When Barry Sanders played for the Lions he could of set the record for the most rushing yards in a season but he just told the coach to just win the game and he didn't play.That's a team player.
To me, when I get taken off the field I am so mad and I am about to just sprint on the field to wreck someone into the ground. That's why you never want to back down playing football. It's an aggressive sport that you need to have the heart to play. Not size or speed-just heart. Football isn't a hobby-it's life.
