Personal Narrative Essay: The Worst Day Of My Life

1644 Words7 Pages

“Help! Help!” Have you ever had a day where everything was going right and then there was that one thing that happened to you to ruin your entire day? Well, that was the worst day of my life. It all began on August 20th, 2010. As my eyes peered out the window, I saw luscious green grass, I heard birds chirping and the blazing hot sun hitting my skin. At that time, I remembered that it was the day that I would go to my first Red Sox game. I ran downstairs and asked my mom “What time are we leaving?” She said to me that the game did not start until 1 pm, so we were going to leave at 11 to pick up Tye and then go to the game.
As I was waiting for the clock to strike 11, I was wondering what the stadium would look like, how many people would be there, how loud would it be in Fenway park. I didn 't want to look it up because I would rather go there and experience it firsthand. As my mom announced that we were leaving in ten minutes, I quickly …show more content…

The game starts at one and it’s only eleven. The game usually does not start on time, it normally starts five to ten minutes late.”
As we approached Tye’s house, I quickly ran to his door and rang his bell. He quickly came running outside. When he sat in the car, I asked him if it was his first Red Sox game and he said that it was not, but this would be his first game with people other than his family.
When we got to where we were going to park the car, I told my mom to call her friend who was going to meet us at Fenway. When my mom was on the phone, my heart felt exhilarating and was pumping really fast; my face started to glow as I was thrilled with anticipation. As my mom got off her phone, she told us that her friend was parking her car and that she would meet us at the letter E entrance in five minutes.

  • Eight Men Out: The Black Sox Scandal

    852 Words  | 4 Pages

    This film plays a major part in exemplifying key aspects of baseball history. The Black Sox Scandal was a devastating event in history that caused spectators and fans to question the integrity of the game; they became skeptical on coming to games because they would not know if it was a real game or fixed. The eight players involved, hence the title of the film, were Eddie Cicotte, Chick Gandil, Oscar Felsch, Joe Jackson, Fred McMullin, Swede Risberg, Buck Weaver and Claude Williams. These players were bribed to throw the 1919 World Series game of the Chicago White Sox and Cincinnati Red for $10,000 each by gamblers Joseph “Sport” Sullivan, William “Sleepy Bill” Burns, and Billy Maharg. Although this was their original plan, the players remained unpaid and decided to play and win the rest of the games.

I learned if you worked hard enough, nothing was unhittable not even Brown’s curveball. As long as you kept alert like a fox, you could survive the curves that the elements threw. I looked at Dzeidek with admiration because I knew he came to this country and put down roots as gnarled and swollen as his
