my greatest achievement is obviosly not spelling this correctly cause well thats one of the manythings i fail gratley at, along with jumping high.. however i could jump really far horizantally.. 19.4 feet is my farthest jump i did in the summer after 8th grade year.. why didnt i run trackk.,, baseball see to me its simple.
all my life i have struggled at following rules and resisting what i want to to do in order to follow direction which most of the time are there for reasons.
ONE thing i have always been good for is baseball.
im not sure weather growing up watching countless hours of baseball and being in myy brothers duggout since i was 6 no matter what team he pllayed for. this is how i have found a remarkable tallent of mine.
I soulyy believe with out growing up learning the game and helping anyway i could in my brother success, or being touaght the real game of baseball and how is should be played the way it was ment to be played i do not think i would have chance in playing in the major leauges,, however when someone says second nature people may say eating or sallowing or buttoning a button,, not the case for my second nature IS baseball,.. it alwys has and always will be.
My favorite moment playing was a tournament game when i was 11. imagine this..
semiplayoffs.. it was the bottom of the 7th inning and we were down my 8 runs. i start off the inning and i laid down a perfect bunt to get on first. next pitch i steal second. 3 pitches later a teammate of mine hits me to 3rd im on 3rd no outs, a hit to the shortstop instincts kicked in and i ran with out thinking about where the ball was hit and the next thing i know was im now in a pickel between home and third,. i was quick fast and i juked a kid and slid into home without being tagged out., of coarse my team gets pumped and rallys hit after hit after hit. im up before i can even catch my breath.. heart racing i step into the box bases loaded 2 outs last chance for anything to happen.. if i strike out game over and we are out t=of the tournament.. the at bat went a little like this.. first pitch ball outside. second strike straight down the pipe. third pitch strike down the middle again im a little worried i just let the two best pitches go by but the last pitch i swung at with everything i had contactt ding! basehitt to the outfeild to winn the game for my team we move on in the tournament and end up losing in extra innings in the championship game but i will never forget the inning where i was the star i could be one day.. one day
