Strikeout Essays

As a child, I have played a variety of sports including softball, volleyball, and basketball, although softball has always been my main sport. I used live in Bolingbrook and was about 10 years old, when I was playing for the Inhouse 10U Bolingbrook Panthers softball team. My father was the coach for our team, so which meant I’d practice a lot with him. I would practice extra after school, focusing on my main positions on the field, which were pitching and third base, I would also practice

puzzle faster or who could build a tower of lego’s the highest. This brought me enjoyment, so it has stayed with me all these years and now I get to use it on the field. Every time we win or lose I still show respect to the other players. Even if I strikeout to end the game, even if I make an error that lets the winning run score. I always try to keep my head up after tough games even though sometimes it is a challenge. I have to keep my head up when I walk back to the dugout after I strike out or I

Regretting is being disappointed over a missed opportunity. Lewis Carroll stated, “In the end of our life, we regret the chances we didn’t take, the relationships we were too afraid too have and the decisions we waited too long to make.” The missed opportunity that I regret in my life is not going to the invitational for USA Baseball. This opportunity could’ve been my big break in baseball while as a player in high school. I never put in the hard work and I learned my lesson because I wasn’t ready

Softball and volleyball are two very different sports. I have played both sports before and from experience, I can honestly say that they were very different from each other. The two sports do not have much in common but both come with tough challenges. First of all, there are nine players and nine positions on a softball field. Those nine positions are left field, center field, right field, first base, second base, shortstop, third base, pitcher, and catcher. All those nine positions are important

Despite their fundamental similarities, softball and baseball have significant differences in almost every facet of the game. This includes differences in field dimensions, bats, balls, and game mechanics. The most noticeable difference between the softball and baseball is obvious when you compare the players.

Softball can be played and explained into two different ways. Softball can be described as a slow pitch and a fastpitch sport. Slowpitch and fastpitch softball are similar in many things but have several differences. For these softball teams, each of them plays on a diamond shaped field with four bases.

Jackie Robinson walks out of the bus and the man at the counter selling the tickets to watch the game glared at Jackie and when Jackie saw this he ran inside and knew that it would get worst when he got into the locker room. He ran down the stairs to the locker room and when he got there he felt something on his back, but when he fell he thought everything was going in slow motion.

My topic today is the comparison between softball and baseball. There are many similarities between softball and baseball, such as the scoring system, both receive one point for each run. Another similarity in both sports is you get three strikes and four balls, three strikes means you are out and four balls means you get to take your base or walk as it is called. There are also many similarities in the equipment used, both use a ball to pitch, a bat to hit with and a glove to catch with. Both softball

Are you a softball player that wants to play softball in the Olympic Games? In 2008 softball was taken out of the Olympic games. It remained banned for the 2012 Olympic games. We were then told that it would be brought back for 2016 Olympic games; however it was never brought back. They will finally be bringing softball back for the 2020 Olympic games.

Perfection I have experienced many cultures as the son of a United States Marine. Despite constant placement into new cultures, there was one constant: baseball. No matter the country or age group baseball has always been familiar. Sure there were minor differences with each team I played on, but major traditions and values remained the same. The most important aspect of every baseball team was the value of striving for perfection. This focus makes it distinctive from most other culture groups

A few years ago, I met a stranger in a far away land named Leslie Squatpump. We first saw each other at a local paintballing park. He was always jealous of my skills, and every time we played against each other I always beat him. After one game he asked me if we wanted to be friends and if I ever wanted to hang out I could go to house. We hung out for a while and got to know each other. Later on, I told him that I didn’t live here and I am moving back to Los Angeles tonight. A year after I moved

From the travel of the pitch to the impact of the swing, softball shows many dynamics concepts in action. While many go playing this sport without knowing the true dynamics behind it, terms used such as the “sweet spot” of the bat have a dynamics basis. Knowing the dynamics behind some of the actions of softball can help a player reach their optimal performance. The

It is extremely harder to hit a softball than it is a baseball, even though a softball is twice the size of a baseball.

One thing people have asked, which sport is harder: softball or baseball? Baseball players say their sport is harder. Softball players say their sport is harder. But no one ever gives reasons why their sport is more difficult. I play softball and here are the reasons I believe playing softball is more difficult than playing baseball. One reason why softball is more difficult than baseball is because of the smaller fields. Softball was first created as indoor baseball. Meaning it was a way for baseball

Take me out to the ball game, take me out with the crowd. Welcome, Café Champs to this edition of Tierani's Sports Café. In the past, I've covered softball basics. I noted in those posts that many of the basics of softball will also apply to baseball: the basic game play, number of players on the field (and the positions of the players), how to get an out, how to get on and around the bases, how to score and even terminology like balls, strikes, steals, homeruns, etc. Although the sports are more

Though softball and baseball have many similarities, they also have many differences. The differences include: the ball, bat, baseline, pitching, and base running.
