From Baseball to Gymnastics :: Personal Narrative Sports Athletics Essays

From Base thump to Gymnastics Have you ever played baseball before? Is it just an new(prenominal) summercater to you? Well I have, and in the beginning it was just a sport to me. I remember as a young boy playing ball in the fields with only a few friends. Pretty much all we needed to play the game was a pitcher, a batter, and a fielder. The another(prenominal) players were mainly my brother Keith and a few neighbors around the block. Of course I was the youngest and the wastedest, but this didnt seem to bother them. We also played many other sports but baseball was my field of expertise. One summer, when I was eight years old, my mother came to me and asked how I felt about playing organized ball. At get-go I was unsure because I was used to my way of only three or more players, but not nine, on each team. Well the small amount of players we had was beginning to decrease. This was because the older guys were getting jobs and more importantly girlfriends. There wasnt m uch else to do, so I decided to go for it, and join the league. This is what I wanted and I was going to be a pro someday.A few days later I went to register with my mom. She was so cool, because she did all the talk for me. I just hid behind her rear and listened, only peeking around timidly to see what I was up against. I wasnt used to that many kids and was not about to talk to anyone, even though they were kids like me. I was shy that day but soon after began to open up. That was it, sign up was complete, and utilize was just around the corner. My team the Toronto Blue Jays, had two weeks before our first game. During this time we had a chance to meet the coach and all the members of the team. We also had the hazard of making fun of ourselves as we fumbled the ball around in a disorganized manner. Once again I had my doubts, but before long I gained friendships and a greater interest for organized Little League. I started off in the league as a Mustang, which was cl assified by age group.
