Persuasive Speech About Baseball

Baseball is a great sport that kids want to pursue when they're older. It’s a game with 9 people on the field at a time and 2 or 3 subs on the bench. Only one person is able to bat at a time. You go through the order as many times as possible. Baseball is a game that lots of kids enjoy playing but don’t get to enjoy. However, our district gives the girls a chance to play softball. So many people might think that baseball is very dangerous, but if you think about it basketball is more physical. Although, people think that getting hit by a ball will hurt a lot, which is true, people have to know when playing any sport there is a chance that you will get hurt. That’s just part of the game. So I am here to inform you on some reasons why baseball should be at our school and at any other middle school that doesn’t have a team.

​ Baseball to most it just a simple game that involves one just throwing a ball, another hitting it, and then another catching it, but it’s much more than that. The ability to hit a baseball three hundred plus feet, that’s coming at you at speeds greater than 85 mph, is hard to attain. Now imagine trying to catch a ball that’s coming at the same speeds, not so easy now right? Apart from the physical abilities needed to play, the mental part of the game is also important. The game of baseball is similar to life if you’re not prepared physically and mentally to go about your business you won’t succeed.

“It's kind of fun to do the impossible” is a quote by walt disney. I believe that anyone can achieve the impossible just by working hard. This leads into the song I chose “Hall of Fame”by the script, the theme of this song is encouraging yourself to do the impossible, will eventually lead you to the hall of fame. First, one of the verses says “you can move a mountain, you can break rocks, you can be the master don't wait for luck, dedicate yourself and you will find yourself standing in the hall of fame.” This tells us that as long as you believe in yourself you can achieve your goals. For me achieving, has always been one of my biggest goals, whether that be in academics or sports. But I have had people tell that I am not smart enough to get

The game of baseball originated from a game called rounders. Rounders consisted of two teams, a striking team and a fielding team. The striking team’s goal was to hit the ball in order to score “rounders,” or runs, in modern baseball. The rules were similar to the rules of baseball today. There were two teams consisting of nine players and four bases. One difference between rounders and baseball is that there is no foul territory in rounders. Any hit ball is in play and the player may run. In baseball, the ball must be hit in between the foul lines painted on the third and first base lines (Olmos).

When we start the game, we take the field first.I head out onto the field to play second base.When we go out there my friends play the bases around me, we talk and communicate to throw the ball to the right base.When the ball is hit to me, I always take a second to make sure that it is coming to me.If I catch the ball I throw it to first unless there was already a runner on first then I throw it to second.When I throw it to second the shortstop gets the ball, tags the base, and throws it to first so we can get a double play.When we get three outs we go up to bat.

Baseball is a simple game. You throw the ball. You hit the ball. You catch the ball.

The beginning of baseball is entirely different from baseball today. More electronics, advanced teams and players. There are more upgraded fields, equipment, and stadiums. With all of the years that have passed with the upgrades and better advances, baseball is the fifth top rated sport. Baseball is what people love to watch and even play.

The size of the ball, the speed of the pitch, and the distance from the mound to the plate all are variables of deciding which one is harder, softball or baseball? Debates break out all over the world with people fighting why softball is a sport made for girls. There is no real reason why the inventor of softball made it a bigger ball just for girls, but the difference is clearly noticeable. Studies show that most professional baseball players have a difficulty hitting from a softball pitcher. In order to prove this study, there must be drawbacks that make these softball players able to blow by a fastball by some of the greatest hitters.

Smack! Goes the ball after Grace Marker hits the ball and is about to get a home run. Beep beep beep! It’s 5:45 am Grace is getting ready for the day. Eeek! The sound of Graces bus stopping at her house to pick her up for school. This excellent student keeps all A’s and B’s, keeps up with responsibilities at home, and plays softball all at the same time.

Baseball is a very fun sport to watch. Many people watch this sport every game. Some people prefer to actually go to the game. Some prefer to watch the radio on TV. Some people even like to listen to it over the radio. Not many people like to listen to it over the radio anymore, but some people, such as truck drivers, would rather listen to it over the radio then go to the game or watch it on TV.

Throughout my life, I have been apart of America’s pastime--baseball. My career started in the dog days of the ‘03 season and I have not stopped playing since. Looking back, I can see the horrid field where I first started playing, and if I shift gears and look forward, I can see the shimmering astro turf I will be playing on in college. The steps taken to learn the skills, positions, and history it takes to play the game of baseball have been stored in the very core of my being, but I was launched into this learning process. I never got to play teeball like most young players do, so I did not learn the game in the same manner as most ball players have before me. The speedy progression would discourage most from ever playing again, but I fed on the opportunity and thrived. Time and time again, the game of baseball has tried to knock me out with an array of assailants, but it has not succeeded to this point, for I have gotten back up each time stronger than before. One could say baseball was the mold that made me into who I am today.

Baseball is not just a game to play, it also has to do with newton's laws. There are three laws that go with baseball. The first law is Newton's first law, the law of motion but is referred to as the law of inertia. The easiest way to describe it is when an object is at rest the object will stay at rest, and when an object is in motion it will stay in motion in the same speed and same direction until an act of something slows it down or stops. How this law goes with baseball is when the ball is in the air after being hit on the bat, the ball will slow down due to air resistance and the stop due to it being caught or the ball hitting the ground. Newton's second law, law of acceleration. How this goes is when the acceleration of the ball would

Baseball is a sport that has been around since the 18th century. Baseball is referred to as “America's pastime” because of all the history and tradition behind the game. Alexander Cartwright developed the basic rules of the game as we now know it today. On September 23, 1845, he organized the Knickerbocker Baseball Club of New York. The first game was played in Hoboken, New Jersey. Baseball is a great sport to watch and play however many athletes who play this game become very injury prone. No motion in baseball is very natural. The baseball throwing motion, where players bring your arm all the way behind your body and whip it forward, can put a lot of strain on a player's arm and elbow. A pitcher in particular is someone who throws a ball sometimes more than a hundred times a game.
