Samantha loved baseball and knew almost everything about her favorite team, The Dolphins. She went to every game that was hosted in San Francisco, California, and played on a team she had assembled herself, The Mini Dolphins. All she was waiting for now was Saturday, the day she and her dad are going to go together to watch The Dolphins play. A sudden knocking sound and the smell of peanut butter awakened her thoughts when a muffled voice yelled out,“Sam, Can I come in?”
“Of course my annoying 14-year-old brother ” Samantha thought angrily, “Who else would call me Sam and eat peanut butter!” Samantha couldn’t imagine a baseball player or fan being called Sam, especially a female one. She hated that name and her brothers constantly called her that to annoy and irritate

    I’ve been a lifelong fan of the Chicago Cubs. I’ve been to their games, watched them on television, talked about it with friends, and once, even paid attention to individuals statistics.

    Baseball: the sport where you stand around for 20 minutes and move 3 feet to the left and move 3 feet to the right. It’s so intense. It’s so intense that you could take a nap on the field with everything out there. Of course, I’m being sarcastic.

As a child, I would imagine myself as a professional ballplayer. I would mimic my idols every chance I had or I would dream of myself being in a critical situation to win the game and to make history. Now, I am chasing my dream by trying to become one of those greats who played the game.…

    Before I went to the World Series, I thought it was a joke, but I guess not because on Wednesday, October 26, 2016 at Progressive Field in Cleveland, OH was where the World Series was. I was more ecstatic than ever going to the World Series. When we got there, we had to choose our seats because it was standing room only(SRO). We chose our seats in foul ball territory, just about 15 feet away from the foul pole in left field. The game started and a country band named “Locash” sang the “Star Spangled Banner”, even fireworks shot up into the air making a crackling sound.…
