Grand Slam Homerun

Today, I didn't have to work today. I watched an important baseball game today, the game against the White Sox and The Tigers. I really enjoy looking at these games. Many people probably just couldn't sit through 9 long innings of baseball, but I can. I use to look at the games with my sister. It is not like I just started watching baseball today, I have been watching it ever since the Braves won the World Series. Me and my sister use to follow all the good baseball players. We would keep score cards at home. She was the only one I could watch it with, because none of my other sister's were not interested. However I have been to 2 braves games in my lifetime. It is different from what you see on TV, because you don't have the commentators. I use to love to hear those commentators on TBS, Joe, Skip, Don and Pete. It hasn't been that long ago, but it seems like it. After The Braves won the World Series, I really started watching a lot of baseball games over the summer when school was out. I would have played in school, but I didn't think I was tall enough. People probably think I am stupid for sitting down and watching baseball games, many probably say that is what boys do, but sports are for anyone. It doesn't matter what gender you are. I could play, but the only difference would be that I would be playing with the girls instead of the guys. It wouldn't really matter to me. I look at those MLB players, and I just don't see how they play this sport. They make it looks so easy. I really enjoy watching sports, and that is the history behind why I like baseball. I could of joined an softball team but I never had time, because my studies were vigorous. This is a true story. I have watched the White Sox over the seasons, and I was happy that they beat the tigers 8-2 tonight. The game started off well, then the Sox scored one run early, then later on the game was tied. Next, the Tigers scored another run and broke the tie and took the lead. I think all the action happened in the 6th inning. Also, in this 6th inning Alexei Ramirez hit a grand slam homerun, and this pretty much turned the whole game around. Everything continued to run smoothly after this, I am glad that it turned out well, and I am glad the Sox are still alive. I didn't buy the MLB x-tra innings this year, because I know that I wouldn't have been home to watch them. Note that my sister was a huge NY Yankees fan, she bought hats, and shirts, and I really couldn't stand the NY Yankees because she liked them. I know we were not in the cities, but it felt as if we were there The TV makes the experience very interactive or real, even if you are not actually there. But, nothing beats being there. It is really amazing to be there supporting your favorite team.
