Playball Speech
Crinkle, winkle, finkle. Finally! I have had that da@& plastic on for years! Today is finally the day that I am going to play in the game. My parents will be so proud that I finally got in. Dad was the ball for the 1987 World Series and mother was the ball for the 1991 World Series. I am no hero like them, but I still made it. Today I am the ball for the Twins and Tigers game. I do not know if I am anxious or scared! I wonder if it will hurt when they hit me? Will it feel soft and smooth when I roll on the grass? Well only time can tell. "And the home of the brave", "Play ball"! Oh boy here we go. Its game time! They set me out on the pitching mound and I have been sitting here forever it feels like. The sun feels as if though it is going to melt me. But here comes the pitcher, boy oh boy! He is ginormous! His hand wraps all the way around me, and he grasps me …show more content…
Three batters, nine pitches, and three outs. That inning did not cause me any pain. Just pure pleasure of hitting the catchers mitt. The twins are now up. Boy I would like to make this stadium go crazy. I have the perfect situation. I will strike the first two batters out and the last one will hit a home run. So both of the first two batters go down looking. Here he comes the last batter. He is shaking in his pants like a young child about a get his first ever shot from the doctor. He steps into the box and gets ready. The pitcher clamps onto me a little tighter this time. He winds up and flings me towards home plate. Bang, it is like I was shot out of a cannon. I make it just over the right field wall and the crowd goes wild. Children cheering and fathers jumping up and down. I land right in the center of a young mans glove. He is now my owner. It was a go run I had in the big leagues, but we all must move on and explore the next adventure of life. At least I am out of the

    “ What a beautiful day for some Dodger baseball,” Commented Vin Scully, with this legendary saying you knew that it was indeed a good day for baseball. The Commissioner of Baseball was driving down the highway on his royal blue Ferrari, casually listening to any baseball game that was on the radio.

    The response was immediate and stout! “RIGHT FIELD SUCKS, RIGHT FIELD SUCKS.” This went on throughout the game. The excitement of a ball hitting the bat snaps me back to the game as I quickly realize that the red laced leather ball has been hit with a sense of urgency toward my direction. People are scrambling for positon to grab the round souvenir. It screams faster and faster towards us , landing in a sea of raised hands waving up and down, back and forth. A young man wearing a Cubs jersey with the name Sosa on the back comes up victorious with a look of determination. As the seventh inning stretch comes, they do a rendition of “ Take Me Out to the Ball Game”. My heart grew with excitement but was quickly disappointed by the fact that the speakers only played on TV. You only hear the sound of the crowd drowned out by indistinct noises of mostly intoxicated cheers and…

    This is it, this is the game I finally show my skills. I feel like I had been waiting years for this, even though it's been only a day. Kaylah goes up to bat and gets a triple. Not what she usually does but still amazing. I wait for two more girls to go up. They strike out but it's finally my turn. Kaylah huffs as I go up because she thinks she will not be able to get home and score a run because i’ll strike out. She doesn’t know what I can do now. I step up to the plate, looking at my team then at Kaylah, she looking at me with disgust.“ I cant believe her, how dare she has no faith in me! In anyone! UGH” I…

    He takes the puck and skates through a crowd of defensemen. He passes the centerline and releases the puck. It's in the net! The red light is on, and it's official. A goal is added to the scoreboard. This sport is ice hockey. Unlike rugby, a specific person did not invent ice hockey. A group of British soldiers created this sport in the mid 1850s. They were stationed in Nova Scotia where they decided to play the sport with sticks made by the Mi'kmaq people of Nova Scotia. In the 1870s, students of McGill University made the rules for modern ice hockey and the very first indoor game was played in 1875. Today, I will be talking about the history of ice hockey in the NHL, why ice hockey is the best sport ever created and my favourite NHL team.…

    Bottom of the ninth inning three balls, two strikes, bases are loaded, you’re down by 1 run, and a base hit would surely tie or maybe even win the game. You’re palms are sweaty, knees are weak and trembling. You feel the stares of the whole crowd looking at you either urging for you to fail or to succeed. The pitcher stares into your eyes trying to intimidate you, but you won’t go down so easy. You grip the bat tighter and begin to ease your mind so only the thought of hitting the ball is what you're concentrated on. The pitcher begins his wind up and you begin your load. The ball whistles towards you and you swing away. At first you don’t feel much, and are disappointed, but then you notice the ball flying off your bat. You're astounded by how fast and far the ball keeps on traveling.…

    Then about five minutes later, nine innings of baseball, with hardly any errors, continue to play all throughout the day and into the evenings. With the nice soft crack of bats making contact with line drives and the deep thud of a ball being caught in a glove.. The sound of windshields busting from foul balls that have escaped the field of play. At last, the night game, which includes the well-known host team, brings even more spectators, leaving many to stand and watch the game with their arms folded over. As they go through the line-up, people can be heard chanting “Hey batter batter”, or “here we go Strikezone, here we go”, all throughout the game. In about the middle of the 5th inning, the announcer says “ Now it’s time to get up for the 5th inning stretch”, and the whole stadium rises up slowly with their hands stretched out high, pointing their hips forward and twisting from side to side, getting ready to watch the next 4 innings, if not longer. Therefore, after a good win, people are coming out of the stadium back to their cars, talking amongst each other about the game that they have just witnessed. Few of the spectators would find that their windshields are cracked and are heard whining or complaining about why they should not have parked so close to…

    The second time I step on the field is a complete opposite from the first. My ears are pierced by the loud cheers of the many fans who are sitting in the bleachers and cheering for their respective teams. A crunch sound can be heard by the players as the spikes of our metal cleats meet the dirt. The eight remaining players carry their gloves and sprint to their appropriate positions in the field as I run to the white pentagon in the corner that has become my stress reliever and my home away from home: home plate. Along with a glove, my position requires a helmet, chest protector, and shin guards. The field is now lined with white chalk along the first…

    It was the last 30 seconds of the final of the world cup, the king of all matches; Spain was leading with an outstanding goal, but was under a lot of defensive pressure, suddenly the ball is lobbed over to Roben, the star of the Duch, he controls the ball and fires an explosive shot into the back of the net. This was victory for sure everyone was ecstatic; this excited state was soon to fade away once they hear the dreadful call of an offside from the referee.…
