Hard work is my Belief

It seems like yesterday I was playing tee ball as a little kid saying how I wanted to play major league baseball when I got older. Most kids wanted to be a teacher, firefighter, and doctor, well I wanted to play professional baseball. When I turned ten I set my mind on working as hard as I can to making it as far as I could in baseball. If it didn’t work out then hopefully Ill get a college scholarship for baseball and get a good education from a good school. So ever since then I’ve been practicing almost everyday to get where I wanted to be. I’ve spent countless hours and long days working on my swing and throwing and running when I could have been doing other things instead, but I wanted it so badly.
I believe you will get what you want in life if you work hard enough for it. I have worked hard and it has payed off so far, I have played for some good baseball teams and traveled the nation and as of right now I have been able to get into a prestigious school. Some people I know say im lucky or had the right breaks but that’s not true at all. Its simply hard work, dedication and how badly you want it. There have been days where I wanted to give up. I would hit a wall and think all this work isn’t worth it, im not getting better. But I got through it. Your always going to have obstacles but the ones who succeed are the ones who get through them. I believe people that devote there time to something and work for it will get what they want when its all said and done.

The Evil Empire

When you see this New York Yankees emblem you automatically think greatness. You think of the greatest baseball team and players to ever play the game. Going From Babe Ruth to Mickey Mantle and even greats today such as Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriquez. The Yankees to me represent baseball all together. When people hear the word baseball I’m sure probably near 90 percent think of the Yankees right away.

The New York Yankees franchise started in 1903. Through the years the Yankees have won 26 world series, the most of any team today by a long shot. The biggest name in baseball and maybe in sports Babe Ruth played for the ever so dominant Yankees.

This Yankee emblem that I chose to write about has such a history behind it. It is so much more then an N and Y. It represents greatness, respect, power, baseball in all. People can hate the Yankees but when it comes down to who is the best team in baseball and who has pretty much always been, people will always say the Yankees. It will always be this way because they over and over again prove their selves, year after year. From personal experience I have never liked the Yankees but they sure do have my respect. I know there the best but I hate admitting that. When I see that N and Y overlapping on somebody’s hat or shirt I think of the greatest baseball team to ever play.

The New York Yankees franchise started in 1903, were first known as the New York Highlanders until 1913 when they become who we know of them today as the New York Yankees. Through the years the Yankees have won 26 world series, the most of any team today by a long shot. The biggest name in baseball and maybe in sports Babe Ruth played for the ever so dominant Yankees. The Yankees are also in the biggest rival in sports with the red sox. There isn't any other sport or game that I would watch then Yankees and Red Sox, when they play each other it really is do or die. They play their hearts out.
