A...A positive article which contains truthful gems. As a child, my family had #SeasonTickets to the Los Angeles Dodgers. At the time, I had gave up cheerleading to enter sports. Baseball was one of my favorite sports to watch. <br /><br />My Stepdad and I had the best seats. That may have been what inspired me to join the Tri-County softball league. My primary position was shortstop. I was the backup for the pitcher and third baseman (person). My first year I was awarded the MVP-Defense in the league, not the team. The scorecards, numbers do not lie. I have no doubt those ambidextrous skills came in handy; I had a right-handed mitt and a left one and was a switch hitter. Those were some fun times. <br /><br />I never had to experience the constant losses that some players face. When I played basketball, I was a three-point shooter. During my junior and senior years, our high school won the state championships. <br /><br />Back to the Dodgers, who originally had their start in New York, I enjoyed those games as an adolescent. <br /><br />I proudly stood to sing the famous ol' song: <br /><br />Take me out to the ball game<br />Take me out with the crowd<br />Buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks<br />I don't care if I never get back<br />Let me root, root, root<br />For the home team<br />If they don't win it's a shame<br />Aahh.<br />For it's one, <br />Two,<br />Three strikes you're out<br />At the old ball game<br /><br />All I need is just one chance<br />I could hit a home run<br />There isn't anyone else like me<br />Maybe I'll go down in history<br />And it's root, root, root<br />For the home team<br />Here comes fortune and fame<br />'Cause I know<br />That<br />I'll be the star<br />At the old<br />Ball Game<br /><br />The irony of that song is the gentleman who wrote it had never been to a live baseball game.
