“This one is coming to you Vee!” my dad yelled! I was at baseball practice. I was in the outfield, the overgrown and bee infested outfield. My dad picked up the bamboo bat, threw the ball up in the air, and swung the bat. The ball went sailing over my head. I ran, and ran, and ran all the way to the ball. I picked up the ball and fired it to the cutoff man. “OW!!” I exclaimed! My arm had hurt like it had never hurt before. It was a sharp pain, that ran up and down my arm, like mice scurrying away from a cat. My dad jogged over. He told me to take a break. So I sprinted over to the bench and watched my team practice.

I did my usual, boring warm ups, that stretched my arm out. Then I went and started warming up with the catcher. About 10 minutes later it was game time.

The pitch came flying towards me. I took a step, started swinging and… “OWW!” I screamed in agony! This had topped any pain I had ever had. My bicep had felt like a million tiny men were stabbing me with sharp knives. My dad told me to go take a break. I ran upstairs in the viewing area, where my mom was sitting. My mom felt my arm and it hurt so much. She ran down the stairs and told my dad that she was taking me to the doctor. “Tendonitis,” the doctor said, after many different tests on my arm. “You see, the only way to cure tendonitis is rest, that is why it is so bad to have. You can’t play for another week,” the doctor explained. He gave the number to the Sports Medicine Doctor to my mom. We drove home and told the news to my dad. So the next few games I rode the pine (sat on the bench). I went to the Sports Medicine doctor with my
