Take Me Out to the Ball Game In the state of Georgia, there are thousands of baseball fans that enjoy the fresh air of the open field and the taste of salty peanuts. “Take me out to the ballgame” might become a simpler task in the near future for Braves fans that live in the Cobb County area. One of the biggest things that I think of when I hear baseball is the huge stadium, filled with thousands of people. More importantly I think of Turner Field, the Brave’s current stadium located in Atlanta.
The Dynamics of Fastpitch Softball Fastpitch softball, as its name suggests, is a fast-paced game overflowing with dynamics concepts. 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 game of baseball cannot begin without the action of one position. In basketball there is a lot of focus on the point guard. In football there is a lot of focus on the quarterback. These are important positions, but there is no position that is more important than a pitcher in baseball.
The Unexpected That Changed My Life for the Better Friday Night Lights not only refers to the stadium that football players play in, but it also refers to every Friday night in September through November. That simple phrase brings back several memories, that carry emotional weight. Memories that are exciting, awe-inspiring, and even painful, and frustrating.

Being a part of a sport becomes your life, it teaches life lessons, helps build your personality, and shows you passions you never would have dreamed of.
Sophomore year I was playing at a soccer tournament with my old team. I was playing a great game even though the score was not reflecting my hard work. Towards the end of the game I jumped up caught the ball landed, my body went one way and my legs went the other, then I fell to the ground. Everyone around me had heard a pop, I knew it was my ACL. From this moment in my soccer career I knew I needed to be determined and to be focused on my recovery in order to get back out there.
Baseball is considered by many to be America’s favorite pastime. Softball in many aspects is similar to baseball but in reality it is harder to play. This can be shown in all aspects of the game from hitting to pitching to fielding to catching. One major aspect where the difference is obvious is hitting. It has been scientifically proven that a 95 mph fastball generates 2411 lbs of force as it crosses the plate and a softball thrown at 65mph generates even more according to youtube.com.
Baseball is different than any other sport ever played. Baseball does not have a play clock that controls how the sport is played. The play clock only controls the pace of the game not when the game stops or continues. Baseball is the only sport where the defense controls the ball. Baseball, unlike other sports, substantially depends on the strategy of the coach and the players.
People think sports are just sports, but in reality to athletes it’s an escape from life, it’s our second family, and most important we feel like we belong there. Sports make you feel like your apart of something bigger than a team. Softball has been my second family and I have made so many amazing friendships that might last for the rest of life and even if they don’t, I will never forget all my friends or the memories that I have playing ball with
Everyone has a favorite hobby; one that makes their bad days better, and they’re best days great. Softball gives me these days, and it’s what I do best and my ability as a softball player comes from dedication and mental toughness. To be a successful softball player, it requires much strength, time, and energy. There isn’t a sport out that there that you don’t have to work hard at. I am constantly practicing to improve my skill that requires an excessive amount of effort because I have bad days just as everyone else, and many times I’m just plain worn out.

History of Softball Did you know that softball came about from a football game? At a football game, a Harvard fan threw a boxing glove on the field and someone threw it back at them and the Harvard fan hit it with a broomstick an that is what they used to play the first softball game. There are four different bases like first, second, third, and home(By Barbara Sorensen). There are nine or ten players on the field at once there is a first baseman, second baseman, shortstop, third baseman, pitchers, catcher, and three or four outfielders this is also the same amount of players on a field as baseball(By Barbara Sorensen). You play with a yellow either 9”, 10”, 11”, or 12” ball in baseball then you play with a 9” ball(By Barbara Sorensen).
The changing social and political landscape accompanying World War II allowed the concept of homosexuality to enter the public conversation, but rampant homophobia left many gays and lesbians struggling to develop a community identity. Southern lesbians in particular faced a unique set of challenges as they contended with not just the stigma of homosexuality, but also the strict gender roles pervasive throughout the South. Thus, it was important for these communities to have public institutions that supported them. Softball is often stereotyped as a lesbian sport, and this paper will discuss softball as an institution for lesbians, and in particular Southern lesbians. In the pre-liberation era, softball as a public institution was co-opted
A field shaped like a diamond followed by a meadow of grass. Sixty foot base paths that surrounds the infield in a counterclockwise direction. A batting count of three balls and two strikes. Three outs total in all seven innings of pure determined, back and forth softball between two teams. This place has been my home for years.
What's your goal? My goal is to be league champions for my softball team and to succeed in softball. I’ve been playing softball for as long as I can remember. I remember traveling to tournaments and the long car rides. I remember failing and wanting to quit.
