For the Love of the Game

Too many, baseball is just some game that 12 year olds play in an open yard somewhere. Too others, it’s more. It is a passion that is like no other. It is an extremely emotional attachment. There is a reaction to every pitch, to every move. With every ball it is not just a pitch, but it is a mental lapse in concentration. Every strike is just a small reward for every moment spent practicing. Every strikeout is crucial and that is evident with the feeling it gives off to strike someone out. A win is the ultimate high, but a loss is devastating. To some, baseball is a love of theirs.

There is nothing like going to a professional baseball game. The mixed smell of freshly cut grass and hot dogs is over taking. The grass is greener than anything else. The lights tower over the field, and every person looks like an ant in a crowd of people. The announcer’s voice echoes through the ball park and really sets the energy for the game. People come from all over the world to watch these games, and to support their favorite player. There is a special kind of energy when it comes to major league baseball games. The best part about the game, is that any team can beat any opponent on any given day. It all depends on who comes to play on which days. The last reason why baseball is a great sport to love is because there is not time limits. There are no buzzers to determine which team is better. It is all about which team can settle it in however many innings it takes, nine being the minimum.
