My Experince.


My Experience is to become somebody important on the future. I will like to become a professional baseball player. I always dream about it. Baseball is the main sport in my country. By the way we have girl softball and in many part of the country the have track team, like running Ect.

The first thing I like to do when spring comes is that I always practice baseball. Most of the practice that I do is on Saturdays. Because I play for a team named Queens Dominicana so I practice on the spring to be ready for the summer. I been running around the park a lot that’s one of the best exercise its will make you run faster also you lose weight.

Finally when I finish with running I start throwing ball and batting also I catch a lot of balls but the best part of the practice is when I got the turn to pitch that’s my favorite part. Pitching is like the head of the game.
