Personal Narrative Essay: The Sport Of Babe Ruth
So it was the championship game for babe Ruth and it was our team vs remax probably the two best teams in the league. Also I was starting pitching for our team I have pitched in big games before but never one like this game. so I was kind scared but I was ready to play in the game. So I got ready and left my house at 3:30 on the way there I took a nap to get rested for the game. So I got there a hour and a half early so when I got there I just kinda sat around and waited for all the other players to get there and so we could start warming up so when the catcher Liam Nash got to the field me and him were throwing like short toss and then we throw like long toss to really stretch out are arms. After we did that me and Liam took a break and got …show more content…
And to finish up that inning we just got a couple ground balls and we turned a double play. And for the next few innings nothing really happened both teams were struggling to hit. Now it's like the 5th inning and we have the top of our hitting order up so we had:Liam,Luke,Ryan,Alex as our 1,2,3,4 hitters. And we got a rally going and we scored a couple runs so at this point the score is 5-1 and we have the lead so then I go into the 6th inning to pitch and I can only do ⅔ of the inning so than Ryan comes in and pitches and to finish out the 7th Alex pitches a 3 strikeout inning.So the game was over and the presedent of the league gave me the game ball to keep and bring home and everyone on our team got a trophy to take home after we won we were all so happy that we won the championship because it was or a lot of people the first time they won something.

    When the first game came I was extremely happy yet nervous also. We ended up winning the game by the score of three runs to two although I did not get to bat at all and was put in only for two innings of defense. I was disappointed that I did not get to play much but I was happy with the win. Our second game was the next day and I hoped to get more playing time then. When that day came it turned out that we were playing an extremely skilled team. We were losing three to one in the last inning and I still hadn’t played at all the whole game. One of my friends hit a double and then another one of my teammates hit a single to knock him in to score. The score was now three to two and we had a chance to come back. My coach then decided that we needed someone faster on the bases so he called for a…

    For my roaring 20’s project I researched Babe Ruth. Babe Ruth was an important figure in the 1920’s. Baseball players still talk about him even today! Babe Ruth is considered the greatest baseball player of all time and one of the most iconic. He holds many records including highest on base percentage and highest slugging percentage. He held the most home runs hit all-time until 1974.…

    In what I would call baseball's modern era many of the key roles are now played by a single person rather than a different person on any given day. Most pitchers are now thankful to last solid six innings, players hardly make it an average of five years, and those past their prime are downgraded to the designated hitter. No wonder the Babe Ruth era continues to fascinate.…

    According to the New York Times.Babe Ruth had a large heart towards children because he gave time and money to help impoverished children. I couldn’t believe that a famous person would give their money to help the less fortunate. Babe Ruth had a heart he helped many children. Babe grew up in an impoverished Baltimore. His family did not make much money and they could barely sustain his family. That is why when he became a star he gave a lot of money to help children in Baltimore get more money and a place to live by making charitable foundations and lending a helping hand.…

    After we warmed up it was time to play the final game. We were the home team so we were in the field first. I was playing center field and it was so hot outside that I felt like I was going to melt. When the umpire yelled, ”Play Ball!” I jumped up on my feet and was ready for the first pitch. On the very first pitch the batter hit the ball straight to me. I watched the ball go up in the air and I was putting my glove up in the air ready to catch the ball but then I lost track of it. My sunglasses did not help me with the sun. I was trying to find the ball, but then SMACK! The ball hit me straight in the mouth and I fell to the ground like a sack of…

    After the third and fourth quarter we ended the game 44-6 with 36 points scored by me. Third quarter 12 points were made by me, and fourth quarter one 3 point shot was scored by me. After the game was over we went and got ice cream for the whole team. We all chose our favorite ice cream then devoured our ice creams as a team. After the ice cream we made a promise to each other that we weren’t going to lose a game at all this season, and we all went home and I will always remember this basketball game and how good of a team we were. This is my story, what is…

    Have you ever heard this quote, “Every strike brings me closer to my next home run,” well Babe Ruth really meant it and you might not believe me now but he wasn’t lying. George Herman Ruth Jr. better known as Babe Ruth was a really admirable person to look back on, so here’s some information about him to get to know him as a person a little better. George Herman Ruth Jr. (Babe Ruth) was born on February 6, 1895, in Baltimore, Maryland. His parents were Kate Schamberger Ruth and George Herman Ruth Sr. He was one of eight children born to his parents and one of the only two to survive infancy. At the age of 7, the trouble making kid became too much of a handful for his busy parents so his family sent him to St. Mary’s Industrial School for…

    It’s the last game and we are warming up for the game. We were feeling super confident because we had just won the game before that. But as we see the other team we lost all of our confidence because they were all like 6’3 or taller. After warmups coach told us who was pitching and he said me. I was like what the heck I’m gonna get killed by these monsters. I was a squirmy as a warm cause I was excited to prove myself. As I’m warming up to pitch on the mound I was thinking of what pitches I was gonna throw. When the ump said batter up I knew that I was gonna have to pitch the ball low in the strike zone. The first pitch in the game I accidentally left the ball up and the kid whacked to the fence in the air. That was as fast as race cars start.…

    Our second game was against the former coach for UNA, Jason Anderson. Coach Anderson was the original coach who offered me a scholarship to UNA. The tension was high, due to familiar faces. We ended up having to play them twice and we beat them both times. After winning all four games we reached the Championship series. Humbolt, from New York, was our biggest obstacle we had to face. The team with the best two out of three wins was to be named the National Champs. The first game we played, we lost to Humbolt. The loss hit us hard and our spirits were down. All season we had not faced a pitcher that shut us down completely. Walking to the locker room after that loss, felt as if we had already became runner up in the Championship series. Beating Humbolt twice the next day, seemed to be an impossible task. We sat in silence as tears ran down our faces. Our coaches let us cry and let us get our emotions out. She knew the pressure we felt and the adversity that was staring us in the face. After 30 minutes of silence, one of the players brought up the games we had to play against UAH. Another player mentioned the victory against Valdosta, and we were instantly reminded that we were capable of anything. We knew that all of the hard work we had put in was not going to waste. We were not going to settle for anything else but a National…

    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…

    I will always remember the kids that were playing there and I think that some of those kids would go to the mlb. So me and my dad finally arrived at the ballparks and I then rolled my bag over to where my team was staying. I then slowly walked over to my team and began to greet them. My coach looked really familiar and he was bald and wearing these shaded glasses. I also remember one of the kids named Derek who went and tossed with me in the grass on one the fields we were by and every time he went up to bat he would use a wooden bat and he hit very well in each game. We then played 2 games, one against white and one against gray. It was very funny playing the white team because Johnny, Logan, and Nick were all on that team (they used to be on the same team). Anyway, my team did well and we won against white team but lost to the gray team. I was ⅗ as an average in each game. So now on to the exciting part. The very next day, there were these challenges that everybody did called Golden Arm, Base Running, and the Homerun Derby. I decided to do the Golden Arm and the Base Running. In the base running, I didn’t do so well (the guy in first was a minute faster than me), but in the Golden Arm, that is a different story. So basically you had to stand in front of the mound and…

    It is the bottom of the ninth and I was last at bat. The ball came zooming towards me at a high rate of speed. The vibration of metal meeting leather rang out in my hands. No hesitation was made. I dropped the bat and ran as fast as I could to first base. My coach was telling me to keep going because the ball was fumbled. I rounded third base and my coach motioned for me to take it home with a slide. Down I went. Dust was flying. The crowd was standing and cheering loudly as the referee motions and yells, “Safe!” All I heard was screaming as dust still loomed the air around me. I could manage to see my team going wild, jumping, and screaming. Everyone seemed to be celebrating except me.…

    The girl softball team had loaded first although they got put out they still was there for us. Team leader in the front of the bus and the rest filled in. The ride to the field was quite. No one talked at all during the trip to the baseball field. The bus was the place to prepare yourself. What I mean by that is the bus was for you to get your mind forced on the game of baseball. The bus was not the time to think about what you going to eat for dinner or the girl you talked to that day. Once you stepped foot on that bus it was baseball time. With us being the number 1 seed going to the champion game we had a lot of support. We had a lot of hater as well…
