I don't think that many people realize how much of a difference baseball has made in my life. My coaches and teammates have had a big impact on me. My teammates become friends. Baseball players are in a different kind of shape than football, basketball, track, cross country, wrestlers. Baseball is more of a mental game. Baseball is what makes me strive for everything. Baseball has made me the man I am today.

Analysis 9/26/13

In The Boy Who Saved Baseball the owner of the field is unsure. It says that he is going to sell the land. The boy goes to Docs house and tries to convince him to keep the land. The Dilliontown team has to play the team up the road who is really good, all-stars. The winner gets to decide what to do with the land. I think that the Dilliontown team will win and they will keep the land as a baseball field.

I enjoy this book because it is about baseball. Baseball is my hobby. In my free time I play baseball. The first home run I hit was in a tournament in Xenia. I was using my exo-grid 2. I remember the feeling of the ball hitting the bat. I knew it was gone. We won the game but we lost in the finals at the tournament.

Reading Skills 9/16/13

In my book The Boy Who Saved Baseball the owner of the baseball field is deciding on to sell the field or not. I wonder if the Dilliontown team wins. If they win the get to keep the field and keep the town how it is. If they lose then Doc sells the field and land. I predict that the Dilliontown team will win the baseball game and leave the town how it is. This is kind of like a baseball tournament because if you lose then you are done and have to leave. In the book if they lose their town gets changed forever.

The book I am currently reading is The Boy Who Saved Baseball. This book shows how much the elder relate and look up to the game of baseball and help them bond with the younger generation. Without baseball in this town its a madhouse. This book is about a town who loves baseball and a young man who saves the game of baseball.

Independant Reading Book

A summary of The Boy Who Saved Baseball by John H. Ritter is that all the people in Dillontown disagree on everything; the way the wind blows, skateboard laws, and billboard laws. There is one thing that they agree on though. "If there never was a boy named Cruz de la Cruz, somebody would've come along and invented him"(Ritten 1). This shows how much baseball can mean to a town. This boy who saved baseball brought this town together from their arguing and disputes.
