Loyalty In The Baseball Field-Personal Narrative
I woke up on the ground with my ankle sore and my head throbbing. Then I realized that it was my seventh birthday, I was so excited! It was an amazing feeling when I remembered that I was going to have a party at the park! The only thing I didn’t know was that I was going to climb a ladder that day. I was also going to get a little wet. Then we finally set up the party and everyone arrived and then we had cake and started playing tag. I climbed up the play structure and went down the slide. And we all played tag in the baseball field. Somebody tagged someone too hard and fell and scraped his knee. He put a band-aid on and said “ I can't run” but then he jumped to his feet and chased me. The tag game ended and I lost. Then we were ready to

    It was a crisp spring day the birds were chirping and the bugs were buzzing and my brother and I, at the age of 10, were playing around in the backyard of our house.

So we wouldn't work garage I got a plastic baseball bat and my brother got a wooden baseball bat plus a whiffle ball.…

    The following morning, I skip bike practice again, but Doris goes anyway. At the office, Megan caters to me. On her way in, she stopped at Trader Joe’s to buy me a protein drink with antioxidants from Trader Joe’s, a bottle of chewable Vitamin C and a whole grain carrot muffin. I drink half the bottle and listen as she tells me, “Thom cancelled the development meeting, since he met with you the other day.”…

    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…

    Baseball means more to me than anything I can imagine. It is more than a sport, to me it is a lifestyle. People misunderstand baseball, they thinks it is just a game where one hits a ball with a big stick. It is not it is a sport for the tough not the weak. I believe in baseball.…

    My dad has been a baseball fan for as long as I can remember. When 1:20 rolls around on Sunday afternoons, the television is declared my dad's for the mandatory Cubs game. Granted we weren’t obligated to watch the game, however, my older brother and I occasionally stuck around to watch. Overtime, this television snatching turned into an annoyance, most games are over three hours long, which greatly cut into my precious TV time on the weekends. I grew to hate the game because I found it long, boring, and filled with little action. Also, the only games my family watched were Cubs games and the Cubs have sucked since 1908. But like every good relationship it takes time for a bond to…

    Hi , I’m Lilli Burton . I am in sixth grade, and play baseball with the boys. A barrier i have faced is trying to play baseball because I am a girl. Whenever I try - out , they say “ She would be great at softball.” I face the barrier in Summer and Fall when it is time for baseball. A lot of coaches are sceptical about putting me on their team, but I don’t let that stop me from trying and trying again.Until someone accepts me for who i am. To overcome this barrier , I used integrity by sticking up for my beliefs and not always caring about what people think of me . I also used determination by never giving up and try my best to get better and better everyday. My barriers are similar to Jackie Robinson’s because we both wanted to do something…

    As a kid, I always wanted to play professional baseball and live up to my dream to play in the MLB. I had high expectations for myself, and I was really determined to achieve my goal and live a successful life. I was convinced for a long time that playing baseball was the right choice for me, but that has changed over some time. As time has passed, I now have a different mindset; to work in the field of criminal justice. Success is the accomplishment of one’s goals, and I now have a new goal that I wish to accomplishment later on in my life. I hope to work in this field by first enlisting in the military, then becoming a police officer, and finally work my way up to a higher position. If I can achieve these goals during my life time, then I…

    An experience that has helped to shape my life was an incident I had with a pro-baseball player during the 2012 and 2013 baseball seasons. According to my viewpoint, the conflict started after we were assigned to our respective leagues for that season. I started observing that “the player” (name that I would use to identity and protect the person’s identity) did not want to follow the strength and conditioning program as the rest of his teammates. ‘The player’s” behavior had several implications: one, “the player” could get injured since he was doing what he considered was best. Two, other players thought I had favoritism with "the player" and tried to do the same. And three, I could had lost my job if any team player got injured by not abiding to the program stipulated.…

    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.…

    Loyalty is the devotion and faithfulness you have to a community, a group, or an individual. Your duties can be obligations of respect, voluntary, or obligations you have agreed to, involuntary. Sandel states, “These include obligations of solidarity and loyalty, historic memory or religions faith- moral claims that arise from the communities and traditions shape our identity (Sandel pg220).” An example of this is when a basketball player signs the consent form to be on the basketball team he is obligating himself to make practice and games and put forth his best effort. Basketball is a team sport so the other members are relying on each individual. By making that obligation the boy may miss hanging out with his friends or playing other sports…
