The Los Angeles Dodgers is a baseball team in California and in this essay you are going to learn more about a team you like or don't . So the Dodgers are my favorite baseball team I have liked them since I was small and my dad and tios taught me how to play it.The Dodgers have won six championships since the team has been invented.It was always interesting for me I played it a lot. I fell in love with the sport. Too bad its only for guys.My family tells me that I should do softball and I guess I will try it but it just wont be the same for me because I love baseball. The day I get to go to a Dodger game I will be super happy!!! that's one big wish for me. They are a really good team. I have a lot of things in my room that are Dodgers.

Like honestly who would pay over $300 to sit front row. I mean I would do anything for free baseball tickets in California.Even to sport off some of the tams clothes is really expensive. If you go on the mlb shop online and search jersey it will be over $100.The players payroll is over $300 million. The managers or whoever pay for the equipment payed in the past four seasons $1 billion dollars.I mean I see why because they have to pay for cleaning the outfits,getting them their bats, their shoes, etc. Money is an "object" for the teams. Mostly all players have a $114 million salary. So in conclusion those were my statements about my favorite baseball team. Extra- Baseball was invented in 1839 by Abner Doubleday. It was invented in Cooperstown, New York during the

The time has come, baseball season is in full swing! Now that basketball has long since ended, it’s time for America’s greatest pastime to begin. Not to knock other sports, but come on. What’s more American than baseball, hot dogs, peanuts, and Crackerjacks?

For example the highest paid player was making $12,000 and the star player Joe Jackson along with the other seven caught in the scandal were not even making half of that (“Say it ain’t so Joe,” par. 4). The stadium was filling up with spectators all season, and the owner was keeping all profits for himself. Throughout the whole year there was tension between the players and ownership for not adjusting any contracts. This was a reason for throwing the world series to finally get back at ownership that was not paying them enough for actually earning those profits.

Baseball Narrative Rough Draft I was so nervous for this morning’s competition. Today was the day that I had the chance to show to a judge what I had to offer into the heat of the KMEA Piano Kansas State Competition. The songs that I had practiced over from June to October were mere children’s play compared to others in the group who played pieces like Claire de Lune and the 12 Variations of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (no one in middle school with common sense would choose repertoire made for high schoolers). “Melody, make sure you go over the spots in your songs that you need to work on”, Mom said, shattering my thought process.

Today they are going to go over plays for different scenarios that may play out in the game. They do this for about 3 to 4 hours until they start practice drills. Six days a week, they spend every day like this, for 10 to 12 hours a day, each day, trying to overcome the exhaustion of the day before. Still, for all that work that they put into baseball, sixty to seventy hours a week, you would think that all of this would pay off a livable wage for a 19 or 20-year-old who has to pay for the household, food, and potential families. Minor league baseball players do not make enough to have a livable wage despite the number of hours that they put into their sports.

can all agree with me that they get underpaid compared to athletes. The money that can go towards better causes such as donating to the homeless, donating to charities, helping people, etc goes to people playing a game.

Athletes are paid more than very important jobs such as surgeons, teachers, and even the president! Athletes don’t even do very important things, they merely entertain fans in an arena. Do they save lives, educate our future, or run our country? No, they don’t. Finally, an athlete's salary is more than an average American household makes in a whole decade.

Athletes - Paid for Their Worth Most people think that athletes are overpaid and see huge contracts come out every year. It’s not everyday that an athlete wakes up to a 20 million dollar contract. In fact, they actually worked for it over many years of training and dedication. Pro athletes are paid exactly what they deserve because they work hard and sacrifice more than most people think. It's not just businesses paying them; people do things like buy merchandise, tickets to the games and support their favorite teams while the athlete does the “dirty” work of performing.
