Description on a Baseball Game
First Baseball Game It was the first game I have ever been to in my life. The game was the Baltimore Orioles VS Boston Redsox. I was of course rooting for my team the Redsox. When we got to the city of Baltimore, the only thing I could see was bright orange, black and a little bird on the hats of the people walking around. The people in Baltimore all had smiles on their face thinking they were going to win this game. I, on the other hand had red on to support my boys that I knew we were going to win. We walked through the city of Baltimore to get to the stadium. It was so crowded, you could barely breathe with all the people and food vendors around. I could smell a mixture of so many things. The first thing was the people, some there smelled like they had just taken a shower but others smelled like a dead skunk. You just couldn’t stand the smell you had to walk away from that person as fast as possible. The other smells I could smell was the food from the vendors. The one I liked the most was the smoked sausage and pulled pork vendor. I was in heaven when we stopped there. It’s every man’s dream to see sausage sandwiches in front of him along with some freshly pulled pork with sweet, tangy barbeque sauce. I had ordered the pulled pork. It wasn’t too cold but wasn’t too hot, it was just right. The juice rolled off of the sandwich onto the napkin every time I had taken a bite. The tanginess was just sensational it was perfect in every which way. I had also picked up, a nice cold lemonade on this hot day. When the lemonade touched my lips they shriveled up from all of the lemon that was in it. It was a perfect mixture of lemons and sugar water it was just fabulous. The icy coldness of the lemonade was wonderful because it was steaming outside. We walked into the stadium; my eyes had gotten really big. I was so surprised of the size of the stadium. It was like walking into a whole nother world that was blocked off by walls. The smell of the place was fabulous.

    Scientifically, it seems humanly impossible to hit a 95 mile-per-hour straight fastball, but we see the professionals do it all the time! Your brain only has 125 milliseconds to decide whether or not to swing at the pitch, let alone making healthy contact with the ball (Griesmer). 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 own balance. Yes, movement as in, certain rotations on the baseball decide whether it will drop down, slide to the right or left, or just float right up into the strike-zone, all still traveling faster than you would drive down the freeway. The physics behind different pitches is astounding! To narrow this down to two drastically different pitches, the four-seam fastball and the curve ball will be magnified. They are merely impossible to hit due to their velocity, movement, and the change in velocity when thrown back to back.…

    Baseball is a game of skill that requires two teams consisting of nine players; a field, and equipment, such as gloves, bats and baseballs. To start, you will need nine willing players per team to participate. One team plays defence in the field , while the other plays offense at bat. The pitcher throws the baseball to the catcher with a offensive hitter in the batter's box trying to hit the pitched ball. Next, the umpire is the official that calls balls and strikes. A strike is a pitch thrown by the pitcher that crosses the plane of home plate between the hitters knees and letters, which is chest height. If it is within this zone, it’s a strike. If the pitch is not in this zone, it is a ball. If the hitter does not hit the pitch into the playing field before receiving three strikes, he is out.…

    After we got to the city, we spended some time going around it and looking at some other things in the city. Next morning we got up, then got on the tram to the game, it was a 30 minute wait, but it was so worth it because I got to see the houses, how they build them there, the parks, this long and big river right beside the stadium. We finally got there, but we couldn’t go inside because the NFL is not letting people inside with normal bags, we hid the bag inside a bush then we got to go inside the stadium. They played the Jets and I got to see a lot the Steelers players like Antonio Brown, Big Ben. I got to eat a hot dog, popcorn, some other candies. But it was so good, but so much money to get food there. My seats were on the 50 yard line and the weather was sunny, but cool. But the most important time was spending time with…

    The triple A affiliation of the St Louis Cardinals. Baseball was Americas Past time, and some say the greatest game. I just happened to have season tickets there, so I got to watch a lot of baseball there. My tickets were three rows behind home plate, so I got to the see the players up close and personal, often times hearing there conversations in the dugout. The seats gave the game a more competitive edge because you really had an eye on the strike zone. You could debate the calls yourself; it gave me a more “into it” feeling. Most seasons I would not miss a home game, just because there was nothing to do at home. A quick forty five minute drive ad me sitting in my seats watching the game. Some of the MLB’s greatest have been through there, and I got witness every one of them. The ballpark included a bunch of games for kids, and a play ground out in left…

    We got the tickets that were $14 dollars and had seats in the very back of the stadium, even though the view was amazing. So, we bought the tickets and went to the nearest block. We had to go to block 14 and we were at block 4, we did not know about the blocks and having to go to the right one. Not long after, we rushed towards our block and got in. I could still not believe that I was going to a baseball game, even though we did not plan to. Before we got onto the level of the stadium that had the field on it, we had to walk up ramps up four floors. After that short climb, We finally got in the stadium. My family went to find our seats. All I felt as I was walking was excitement in each of my steps.
