baseball...

  

 To some people baseball is just a game. To others, its more like a passion, a history, sometimes even their life. Most people who aren't interested in baseball haven't been around it. It can easily be said that this sport is and was America's past time. No matter how many fathers like my own, talk about baseball like they played the game, you will never understand the feeling until you are on that field.
     They often say that baseball is a lot like life. Baseball is the only sport until this day where you can fail 7 out of 10 times and still be considered great. But also like in our own lives, we learn to get back on our feet when we fall and to stand tall with confidence. Much like baseball in where you cant get down if you strikeout in the 9th, or drop the game winning fly ball.
     Every little boy remembers when he is 7 and dreams about playing on the big field. kids live for that one moment while fathers dream of it. On this field, you can be anyone you want. Whether your Mickey Mantle playing center field in game 7 of the world series, or Barry Bonds hitting a walk off home run. This is where dreams come true.
