Personal Narrative: My First Home Run
“Dude, Goose! Look at this guy!” Alex yelled from across the dugout. I look out to the mound, and I see a kid just starting to throw a pitch. I waited until I heard the ball hit the catcher’s mitt before I judged him. “Dang Luke, he is slow,” said Mark. “I know I know, but be humble because you could still strikeout,” I replied. The inning begun with Ben getting on base. That meant that Ethan was up next and I was on deck. I was on the on-deck circle watching the pitcher. I knew with his speed and the average sized fields, I could make something happen. Ok, calm yourself, just focus on getting on base. Don’t think about anything else. “Strike!” yelled the umpire. I knew my time was getting close. I tried not to think about hitting a home run because I have before, and I always …show more content…
They were all excited that we had control of this game, and that I hit my first homerun.”

After the game, I got in the car with Jack and his mom, Margi. We started talking about my game, and how it was awesome that I hit a home run. We stopped to eat at a Subway, and that is where I called my parents.
“Hi Luke,” said my mom.
“Hi Mom.”
“I heard you hit a home run! I bet you are excited!”
“Yeah Mom, it was awesome.”
“Ugh, the one tournament we miss and you hit a homerun. Maybe we should keep missing them.”
“Haha, I wish you were here. I miss you.”
“I miss you too. Love you!”
“Love you too! Bye”
“Bye, I will see you tonight.”
When we hung up, I could only smile because I just did something awesome. I thought that my home run experience was different than others, because I knew I was going to hit one. When other people hit bombs like that, they don’t know it is coming. But, I did.
I suddenly became aware that I was as hungry as a wolf, so I dug into my sandwich, only forgetting about my home run for about ten

    Pablo is up to bat. Everyone in the ballpark could see that he was quite nervous. It was his first game ever. He was bending his legs, elbows were up, and his eyes were looking at the pitcher. His pupils were as large as marbles. With the crowd at its feet, the pitcher wound his arm back and pitched the ball.…

    The crack of the bat and the fresh smell of roasted peanuts. It’s a baseball game alright. Billy is a starting pitcher for Amberline high. Their team's name was the Amberline Armadillos. He lives in Boston and his dream is to become the best Red sox pitcher. The Armadillos are winning with a two to one score against the buckville bees in the bottom of the ninth. Two outs bases loaded and the count is three-two. It is every pitcher's dream to strike the batter out and this is every batter’s dream to get in the winning run.

    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.

    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.…

    Baseball Memoir

    “GET HOME!!! GET HOME!!!” Those were the words my dad would yell from the third base coach’s box as I passed him rounding third! Baseball to me is more than just a game! Baseball is a passion, fueled by the desire to succeed, the passion to overcome, and the dedication to be great. A baseball field to me is like a stage is to a dancer or an open road for a biker; I just love every aspect of this amazing sport. It’s the field with its seemingly unfair depth, its soft green grass and the infamous red dirt, that make me have the passion for the game like my father did as a child. My life seemed to be limitless when I was in between that fence. Taking cuts on the tee, putting together a pickup game that didn’t matter who won or lost, or even on those days that practice seemed to never end, I still had the love for the game.…

    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. Not only was this my first Major League Baseball game I was going to, but it was my First Major League Baseball game in a different country! That was the most amazing thing I found of that game. We entered the game in the middle of the fourth inning. Even though I came into the game a little late, I was still grateful I could still watch the…

    My Baseball Moment

    It was a week away and surprisingly I was calm for the upcoming event. Usually I would be nervous from the top of my head all the way down to the bottom of my toes, but I had so much confidence that it was inspiring to others. Knowing that the big day was 2 days away, of course I had to go out and buy new equipment so I could not play the part, but also look the part. Shortly after buying a new Nike helmet, Swingman batting gloves and a brand new solid pro maple SamBat I immediately went to the cages. The bat had the biggest sweet spot and the most pop out of all my bats. The ball hitting of the barrel sounded like gunshots. I felt like taking a million swings, but I knew if I stayed there for a long time I would be a little tired for the big day so I only took 100 swings and called it a day. Finally the next day I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock with the mindset of determination. I quickly got dressed in the proper sports attire and fled out the house with my brother. On the way there I had the speakers on blast playing the most inspiring and highest BPM songs I had on my play-list. After arriving to the parking lot I had walked to the front entrance of the stadium where they had given me a shirt with a specific number and a cap so it could be worn on the field. After suiting up and taking the first step on the field, the amazing view of the inside of a baseball stadium had me speechless. Knowing that professionals play here too had me feeling proud that I was doing something with my life and that hopefully it was going to lead me somewhere better. Before starting all the drills and the showcasing of the performance of the players, the commissioner of the league had a few words to say. Shortly after the speech was done, we had finally started to begin! Everyone was split into different groups. Some kids were hitting, some were pitching, and some were taking ground balls. I was put into the hitting…
