Baseball What the game means to me

Baseball What the game means to me

A Poem by SmittyJas

Baseball America's Pasttime

"
    For the love of Baseball and the summer i always have watching the game I love. Paying attention to each call of the announcer and the pitch count and how the batter waits for the good pitch the 3-2 count to swing at the best selective pitch. For the love of the game you must watch each punch and counter punch. Maybe your team doesn't have power and wants to run the bases to score runs and bunting is a big part of their game. Some teams rely on good pitching Pictures do not low many runs pre game their ERA is below 3 runs a game and that give the team a good chance at beating them but scoring a few runs and winning the game. Then there is the power teams loaded with power hitters on there team can knock the ball out of the park at will. Scoring lots of runs was fun for them and keep them in many ballgames till the end.

    Yes I believe in America's pastime Baseball As the fans line up to buy tickets to see there favorites player in the game come and play baseball has become a high priced sport and I can only afford to attend a few games a year with my family but the joy I get from seeing my Grandson cheer in the stands is so thrilling to me it gives me a rush for baseball is the only sport that family can attend and not get too embarrassed around out of control fans its lay back at times. Its family good night out. This is why I love baseball the most of all the sports all year around.

   Baseball is a gentleman's game Players are controlled by the umpire's who rule the game and call safe or out And Ball or Strikes that is what makes baseball an interesting game to watch from the stands. Baseball is also called the game of inches for home runs can be missed by inches near the home run lines in the outfield of near the foul poles on the ball field.

    Yes some my say its to long of a season But I say its just right Keep on playing throughout the night Let me see them on MLB network and Root Sports ESPN Game of the week and Sunday night Baseball I just can't get enough Baseball stuff.
