Started from the bottom... Now we are here!

When I was a kid I was learning to play baseball. Baseball was always my favorite sport and still is, but it wasn’t my first sport. My first sport I ever played was football. I started playing football at 8 years old. It was fun I was the quarter back and the running back. I soon quit and then started my baseball career. I thought it was tough going from a full contact sport to just a ball and a bat but I stuck with it. The first year was really bad I wasn’t very good. I was an outfielder and a bench warmer, I didn’t play much but I had fun. My team went to the playoffs and we lost because I struck out so I was mad at myself for a while . I really didn’t hit much, so I had a lot of work to do during the off season. So the summer came I put in a lot of work and I became more talented. So the second year came I started as a pitcher, third base, and first base. I was very good on the field and I was very impressed with myself. My batting increased more than anything, I was batting at a 500 average. I hit my first homerun off one of the best pitchers and I was the only one that hit a homer off of him! I made the all-star team and I was the pitcher and first baseman. When we went to get our trophies all the coaches were so surprised on how much I had improved. Then the third year come and I was the first pick, so I went to the team local 59. That team was my favorite team ever. I was the first- baseman there too, I was also a catcher and a pitcher but I didn’t start out at those positions I was an outfielder and it was all right but it wasn’t the position I wanted to play. So I talked with my coach and he said ‘’whatever position you are in is the position you worked for”. Then I worked for pitcher and first baseman and I got it! The next year I was staring first base and pitcher. My team made it to the championship with a record of 10 and 14. We had just made it and we played two teams and knocked them out of the playoffs that left just my team and a team we never beat before. So this was the championships. The first game of the series we lost, then the second game we won. Its best 3 out of 5 games. So it was 1 and 1 & the third game we won which left us in the lead. One more win and we go to city championships! We WON!!! The last game with a walk of grandslam and we were all so happy and we had never beaten them in the regular season so we just pushed our hardest and we did it. Out of all my years of baseball all I wanted was a championship trophy and I got it! All you need to do is start from the bottom and pick yourself up. Me and my team made it because we started from the bottom now we’re here! Thanks for reading leave comments! Tysean D. (#45) P, 1b, C
