SHORT STORY

Bases loaded, one out, winning run on first. The stage is set for the old man who’s approaching twenty years in the game, still chasing that world series berth. If this were a Hollywood script you wouldn’t believe, after all they shouldn’t be in this spot. Two days before he sent the series to a game seven on a grounder through the legs allowing the winning run to score.

Slade has been questioned about retirement as his forty year old body isn’t the same one as the twenty one year old five tool player he came into the league with but in almost twenty years in this game it seems as though he won’t stop till he reaches the top of the mountain top. …show more content…

Personal Narrative: Football

I used to think that football was a very hard sport that I didn’t know how to play. Now I think that it is the best sport ever.

“ Playing Time” The air was cold, wet, and not all that pleasant as I stood on the sidelines toiling in obscurity as our football team was pounded to a pulp.
